Politics, Christianity, And all the things you're NOT supposed to talk about! How can we have productive and healthy conversations with people with opposing views?
Join me, my brother Tom, cousin Tori, & bestie Abby as we chat about politics & christianity/religion. 2 topics that tend to bring out the worst in people. I personally have struggled in 2020 with NOT having an emotional response to those I feel discriminate against others...but the way I have come across and my tone is truly what makes the difference in how the conversation will go. Have you struggled with this in 2020? or even before this year? Why is it that we are told to avoid these topics when they BOTH are so important to everyone? Whether you agree with the view points we share or not I think this episode truly sheds light on some interesting perspectives on why these conversations can turn sour and what we can do to try and change that.
Don't forget to screenshot when you're listening and tag me @themavenlifewithmw :) **Some profanity is in this episode**
