Let's Go There: Reclaiming Conversation from Polarization Stephen Appel

Stephen, Nik, and Jorde talk about how to process when we find out influential Christian leaders with successful ministries have dark secrets and how we should think about the role of Christian influencers in our lives.

In this cross-posted episode from the Fargo Christian Podcast (hosted by Jorde and Nik), we process the news about former Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz's highly publicized affair and the reaction that followed.

In this episode Stephen, Jorde, and Nik continue their conversation about the conspiracy theory Q Anon, talking about what causes people to get caught up in it and how we can respond when that happens to somebody we know.

Stephen, Jorde, and Nik talk about the expansive viral conspiracy theory Q Anon that was largely behind the riots at the US Capitol, breaking down what it is, how it got so big so fast, and what that tells us about how culture is changing.

In a special episode that originally aired live on election night, Stephen shared some insights from the Hidden Tribes Report from More in Common that challenge our assumptions about division in America and some encouragement for the "Exhausted Majority".

Stephen shares how the recent experience of a friend challenged him to think about the subtle but critical difference between putting our faith in our beliefs about God and putting our faith in God the being.
