In this episode of Today’s Conversation, journalist Bonnie Kristian and NAE President Walter Kim explore practical ways to engage with the surplus of information coming our way, and how to stay on guard in our discipleship to Jesus in the digital age.

You’ll also hear Walter and Bonnie discuss:

• The issue of “expertise” in the post-pandemic era;
• Why having a depth of knowledge on a few topics vs. broad knowledge on all current issues may be more helpful;
• The growing mindset of “conspiracism” and how to speak to it, or sometimes how to refrain from speaking to it; and
• Other practical tips for staying grounded in truth.

The country is divided across class, racial, gender and political lines, and churches are not immune to this. Sometimes they even exemplify this division. How can pastors preach to a divided audience, and how can congregants remain active participants despite challenging differences?

Dr. Matthew Kim, of Truett Seminary and co-author of “Preaching to a Divided Nation,” offers a way forward in this episode of Today's Conversation.

Shirley Mullen, president emerita of Houghton University, joins NAE President Walter Kim for Today’s Conversation podcast, and casts a vision for how each of us can claim the courageous middle in this election season and beyond.

You’ll also hear Shirley and Walter discuss:

• How active listening and bridge-building is central to the middle space;
• Why being in the middle is labor intensive, but offers real possibilities for lasting change;
• How institutions and individuals have navigated this space and seen fruit of their labors; and
• Where those who feel disillusioned by polarization can find encouragement.
