For the September 2024 episode co-hosts Austin and Jacob decided to delve into the topic of politics and civil discourse. While on the campus of George Fox University for NWYM Annual Sessions, they got to hear a brief report of GFU's Civility Project which has aims to "[h]elp people recognize disagreements, and the political cultures we use to resolve them, as crucial parts of God's loving providence" and to "[o]ffer resources to support those working to build civility and heal political cultures". Jacob thought this was just the kind of work that needed to be highlighted as we approach election season, so we reached out to Ron Mock who is the director of the project to have some conversations about how we can have civil discourse with those we may not agree with. Ron is the Professor Emeritus of Political Science and Peace Studies and he was also a clerk of Newberg Friends during a tumultuous church split, so he knows a thing or two about walking through hard situations with grace.
