In today’s episode of The Kandid Shop, I had the pleasure of chatting with Corey Nathan, the creative mind behind the "Talkin Politics and Religion Without Killin’ Each Other" podcast. Corey shared his unique journey from growing up in an observant Jewish family to converting to Christianity in his late twenties, which sparked his interest in navigating challenging conversations about religion and politics.
Corey emphasized the importance of engaging in these divisive topics civilly and highlighted the necessity of recognizing the humanity in everyone, even when opinions strongly differ. He shared personal anecdotes about the difficulties and complexities of discussing sensitive issues within his family and his church community, illustrating how these experiences led him to create his podcast.
Throughout our conversation, Corey provided insightful advice on how to approach discussions on politics and religion. He stressed the value of radical curiosity, active listening, and maintaining an open mind, which can lead to a deeper understanding and respect for differing viewpoints.
We also delved into the impact of social media on public discourse, discussing the responsibilities of individuals and platforms in fostering a healthier conversational environment. Corey shared his personal rules for engaging online, emphasizing the importance of accountability and respectful interaction.
The episode was not only enlightening but also deeply humanizing, reminding us all of the power of conversation in bridging divides and the continuous effort required to improve how we communicate on contentious topics. Corey’s perspective and tips are invaluable for anyone looking to navigate difficult discussions with grace and empathy.
Listeners, whether you're new or returning, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in better understanding the art of conversation in our polarized times.
Join us on this thought-provoking journey that seeks to repair the world, one conversation at a time, that may inspire you to view the sunrise of opportunity in every challenging debate and embracing our shared humanity.
