Amplify Peace Podcast
We are a polarized nation and world. Political, religious, racial and gender polarization (and others) are increasingly dividing our churches, our communities, and families. These growing divides are reflected in our personal lives and relationships. There is a shifting and clashing within culture that is having huge ramifications today and will impact future generations. The time is now to listen, learn, and live differently.
