Life is a paradox. From the Biblical vision of God becoming a human, to the practical application of God’s truth in a broken world, inexplicable contradictions and mysterious connections leave us confused. We seek clarity by simplifying truth, categorizing and containing it, creating an either-or world of our own making. And then reality merges black and white perceptions, calling us once again to look at all sides of an issue until we capture its core truth. In this interview, author Jen Pollock Michel helps us to see the world from a realistic both-and perspective.
