Avoiding participation in these conversations is forgoing the opportunity to learn something new, and maybe even change my mind. Along with that, if I\u2019m not taking the time or initiative to understand someone else\u2019s point of view, I\u2019m only reinforcing the current state of divisiveness between these binary camps of blue and red.\nI invited Corey Nathan on the podcast to give us inspiration on how this could be done right. He shares his personal story of making amends with his dad when he decided to leave the Jewish faith.\nIn the second half of this episode, Corey shares some basic communication skills to help us have more enabling conversations. Some of my favorites include the feel, felt, found framework, the phrase \u201chelp me understand\u201d, and changing our mindset from competition to collaboration.\nI hope you enjoy my conversation with the stockbroker by day, theater guy by night, Jew from Jersey that became a Christian, and the host of the incredible podcast, Talkin\u2019 Politics & Religion Without Killin\u2019 Each Other\u2026Corey Nathan.\n\u00a0\nKey Takeaways:\n[1:02] How Hal introduce Corey to Christianity\n[13:05] Corey telling his Jewish parents that he was a Christian\n[26:42] When political views are inconsistent with religious scripture\n[32:21] Corey\u2019s life as a stockbroker and theater guy and how that taught him how to create kindness across different viewpoints\n[42:18] Why Corey\u2019s son decided to stay unvaccinated and how he approaches that conversation differently now\n[52:08] How to approach mending relationships that were broken due to opposing political views and the feel, felt, found framework\n[57:34] Respectfully disagreeing\n\u00a0\nMore of Corey:\nPodcast: Talkin\u2018 Politics & Religion Without Killin\u2018 Each Other\nhttps://politicsandreligion.podbean.com/\nInstagram: @tpandrpod\n\u00a0\nMore of TSIR:\nFind show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/\nFollow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tsirpod/","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/90acb097-f831-4a82-92a1-e3577e1843d4/cover-art-92-7v51b.png"}
