Introduction & Reviving Dialogue - Episode 1

Why do people rush to the extreme ends of the spectrum when it comes to politics, philosophy, religion? What happened to honest dialogue with one another where we listen to the other person’s point of view and then work to meet in the messy middle? Why do we instead stick our fingers in our ears and run away like a toddler?

After Gabriel and Trey introduce themselves, they begin discussing HOW we can have these discussions about controversial topics without demonizing the other person’s views, or even demonizing the other person altogether. They look for ways to make the viewpoints human, to have empathy, and then meet in the middle…not in an effort to create uniformity, rather in an effort to create unity.
