Welcome to another episode of "Cabernet and Pray." In today's episode, we sit down with Sarah Bauer Anderson, a deeply insightful author whose journey of faith and personal growth offers a compelling narrative for anyone navigating the complexities of religion, politics, and family dynamics. About 15 years ago, Sarah's faith shifted during her pregnancy with her oldest child, leading her to embrace mystery, curiosity, and a broader spectrum of theological thought, including Eastern Orthodoxy.

Sarah shares her fascinating evolution from a conservative upbringing, exploring different atonement theories and moving towards restorative justice and universal reconciliation. Her book, "The Space Between Us," delves into how Jesus teaches us to live together amidst political and religious divides. Jeremy and Sarah discuss the significance of food and drink in bridging divides, the emotional foundations behind political beliefs, and the importance of approaching differing opinions with curiosity and understanding.

Join us as we explore the transformative power of open dialogue, mutual respect, and the wisdom to choose which battles are truly worth fighting in our relationships. Whether you're struggling with evolving beliefs, navigating family dynamics, or simply curious about how to foster healthier conversations, this episode promises valuable insights and heartfelt narratives.
