In this powerful episode, we grapple with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and what it means for our culture. Whether you agreed with Kirk or not, his death is a reminder of how far division and dehumanization have taken us as a culture. 

Our podcast has always been about one simple idea: we need to talk to each other again. Disagreement doesn’t have to mean disrespect, and curiosity about another person’s story is often the first step toward real understanding. But in a moment when violence has replaced dialogue, that mission feels more urgent than ever.

We explore:

  • Why political violence signals a dangerous turning point for our democracy.
  • How polarization and echo chambers push us away from dialogue.
  • What we lose as a society when we stop listening to one another.
  • Practical ways to rebuild a culture of conversation—starting in our own families, communities, and circles.

This is not a time for silence or retreat. It’s a time for courage, listening, and choosing connection over cancellation, conversation over violence.

👉 If you’re ready to imagine a culture where disagreement doesn’t end in outrage—or tragedy—this episode is for you.
