We all have that one moment. Seeing something in a new light. That connection with a stranger. A surprising friendship. That story that we hear for the first time or in just new enough a way that changes us. That shifts our perspective, how we look at the world, how we look at our community, and, ultimately, how we look at ourselves. Coming Around is a podcast that highlights seemingly everyday stories that bring us into something new and uncharted. The stories that alter our path, stories that shift our perspective, and stories that move us to coming around on aspects of life that, before, we may have felt would never change, never grow, never move at all. Join Joey Torres in conversations with friends, family, and colleagues- his everyday people- as he explores the stories that changed us. This is Coming Around.
Sitting down and talking with Darin is always one of my favorite things to do. For this episode, my Seattle buddy and I share all about what it’s like to come around to the idea of privilege, especially in a world that might not feel very privileged at all. Enjoy!
This week, I talk with a good friend, Erin, who shares about how she came around to the idea of complex thinking through a heart-opening, eye-closing experience! Maybe the world is so much more than black and white.
My new friend James is a very open man when it comes to him explaining his past and the positions he used to hold. This week, listen to him as he explains the very complicated and deeply personal approach he took in coming around to the idea and phrase, Black Lives Matter. I found it eye-opening and deeply sincere. I hope you do, too.
Listen to Lara as she describes coming around to people with different political beliefs than her own. Lara is passionate about understanding her neighbors in a way that feels hopeful. Enjoy!
Joanna reflects on her approach toward LGBT inclusion in the church. Listen to her heartfelt, funny, and warm story of coming around.
Listen to Joey as he talks about how he got into the Coming Around project in the first place. Hear a little bit about his family, his academic life, and what inspires him. Try not to be distracted by the bad audio quality, this was before he had a mic!
