Facing Fear with Faith
Great podcast on fear and faith with Adam Hamilton from the UMC website.
Get an audio version here or YouTube version below:
http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/facing-fear-with-faith-get-your-spirit-in-shape "Every person wrestles with fear on some level," teaches the Rev. Adam Hamilton, United Methodist pastor and author of "Unafraid: Living with Courage and Hope in Uncertain Times." For the most part, that's good. Fear keeps us from stepping out in front of cars and getting too close to the edge of a cliff.
Why Good People Are Divided By Politics And Religion
Quote from Jonathan Haidt's book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided By Politics And Religion."
Scott Hughes over at the Discipleship Ministries Blog has a good (and fairly short) summary of Jonathan Haidt's book "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided By Politics And Religion." His first two parts are below with more to follow later. This is a good read for anyone interested in understanding current fractures in culture, society, politics, and the church.
