Do you have questions about current cultural issues that you want to ask, but you are too afraid of the consequences of asking them? How do we engage in conversation about sensitive subjects without polarizing ourselves from everyone else?
Sound Engagement is a conversation where it is safe to question both the status quo as well as the proposed changes. Is it permissible to call for systemic reform without demolition? Can we learn from our history without whitewashing the whole timeline as corrupt?
Sound Engagement is hosted by Peter Anderson and Brad Mills. Peter is a licensed marriage and family therapist. Peter’s life experiences sent him on a journey to understand the nature of grief. He was drawn to seminary where he grew interested in counseling to help those around him address their relationship issues, their grief, and their loneliness.
Brad is a pastor who is concerned that many modern Christians are unwittingly motivated by secular ideologies more than they are biblical principles.
Our main desire is to take controversial topics and delve into their complexity. Asking questions and seeking answers has never been easy. Sound Engagement wants to offer its listeners the ability to hear multiple sides.

The Boy Crisis (Part 3)
We wrapped up our discussion of Part 3 of the book covering chapters 9-12. The hero paradox suggests that men are rewarded for being successful at work and war. We praise the firefighters who sacrificed their lives by entering into the twin towers on 9/11—99% of whom were men. The catch-22 is that the same men who are successful in work and war tend to be horrible examples at home. How can we be better balanced as husbands and fathers?

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
Peter and Brad reconnect after a long break from the podcast to discuss a common dilemma Christians face today. Should we stay in an environment that is growing more hostile to our values or move somewhere that is more hospitable?
The idea for this episode was sparked by a snippet of Brad's sermon "http://gracefresno.com/sermons/preparing-to-rebuild/ (Preparing to Rebuild)."

How Critical Theory is Corrupting Therapy
Today I'll be speaking with Dr. Valerie Thomas. She is a writer, trainer, psychotherapist and author of two Routledge publications: Using Mental Imagery to Enhance Creative and Work-Related Processes and Using Mental Imagery in Counselling and Psychotherapy. We will be discussing her recent publication in New Discourses on her main concern with Critical Social Justice Theory (CSJT) and how it "cuts the heart out of therapy" and how it's a danger to the profession.
You can find her articles here: https://newdiscourses.com/author/valthomas/?fbclid=IwAR2-IAbMXak5X5WDm0V0TMt_vrM18NWl3nG4KjR49miJfXCCg53qMcCaqDo (https://newdiscourses.com/author/valthomas/)
