Blessed Are the Peacemakers (#624)




The God Journey show

Summary: If we could only find some... Jesus blessed the peacemakers and now more than ever we need some to help bridge the widening rips in our social fabric. The amount of vitriol in our culture, even between Christians, has reached epidemic proportions. Spawned by our so-called leaders and fanned into flames by an advocacy media that can no longer present a unified narrative about news events, we are becoming a nation of angry citizens each demanding our own way. When did it become ok to detest people who view the world differently than we do? How can we recover mutual respect across our deepest differences and treat others with the dignity their humanity deserves? <br> Podcast Notes:<br><br> Wayne's former work with <a href="http://www.bridge-builders.org">BridgeBuilders</a><br><br> Wayne's <a href="https://www.tedxacu.org">TEDx event in Abilene, TX</a><br><br> <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/karl-vaters/2017/november/sorry-christians-we-cant-blame-media-any-more.html">Sorry Christians, We Can’t Blame the Media Any More</a> by Karl Vaters<br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/product/beyond-sundays/">Order Wayne's newest book: Beyond Sundays</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/connect/travel-events/">Wayne's Travel Schedule in early 2018</a><br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/kenya-expanding-irrigation-new-village/">The latest news from our project in Kenya</a><br><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line via Skype at "TheGodJourney"<br>
