It’s infinite.”“We bear the image of an eternal God. That’s incredible. Each one of us. It’s infinitely beautiful and infinitely valuable.” “The things that I will look for to define my own value is the exact same set of principles I’ll apply on every other person.”“We do have permission to mourn things that we discover. And we need to. I think that that’s healthy. But we can’t stay there. We have to move through it.”“Dr. King said, ‘Love is the most durable power in the world.’ And when I heard that quote, what I literally saw was like an actual structure to hold the weight of disagreement. And I think agreement is what we’re building on right now. And it’s so cheap and so flimsy. It cannot hold any dissonance, whereas love can.”“Respect is earned over time. Honor is something we can give freely, just like love. Everyone is deserving of honor because everyone bears God’s image. Even if they’re committing atrocities—and I know this is a hard thing to say, a hard thing to believe—but even in the act of committing horrible atrocities, no human being is outside the realm of redemption and honor.”Thank you to Breaking Ground, the co-host for this podcast.Head, Heart, Hands, Season 4 of the Love Is Stronger Than Fear podcast, is based on my e-book Head, Heart, Hands, which accompanies White Picket Fences.

Presenting The Reunited States | Director Ben Rekhi & Erin Leaverton with Ciaran O'Connor & John Wood, Jr.

Like a lot of Americans, Dave and Erin Leaverton struggled with the political divisions they saw and felt after the 2016 elections. From Facebook fights to coffee shop arguments, they couldn’t stop wondering, “What would it take to bring unity to America?” Instead of just talking about this question or adding to social media echo chambers, they quit their jobs, put their three kids in an RV, and set out on a year-long journey across the country to search for an answer. Their year on the road is a story of challenge, hope, pain, change, and, of course, a big ol’ pile of disruption.Download the executive summary for this episode at manonfire.co.
