Les mer Ivy League Trucker

Ivy League Trucker, where stories and conversations bridge the gaps to connect people with different backgrounds and lived experiences. Hosted by Clint Files, a big rig trucker with an Ivy League education. How do we connect with those unlike us, challenge our own perspective and foster empathy? Join us on a journey to build understanding in a world desperately needing it! A perfect show for those who are tired of the divisions, polarization and rage-baiting tearing us apart - who want to reverse the tide and move toward others. Who want to heal our social fabric and restore empathy, understanding and tolerance. Who want to embrace the humanity in their fellow man and woman, no matter where they stand. Who understand that valuing the other person does not require you to surrender your values. Clint’s personal journey from Ivy League educated corporate executive to big rig trucker has given him an empathy for those different from him. Join Clint, as he explores how to find community with those different from us economically, politically, religiously, generationally. Because its good for your heart - and good for us all.

#8 A young Pastor Shares How She makes connections through Service

I think you will really enjoy this interview with Addie, a young female pastor in the Anglican Church. She combines her heart for people and innate curiosity to serve people in and out of her congregation. A young mother of 2, she is fully engaged in life at work and at home. Themes of compassion, respect and empathy undergird her ability to make connections without judgment. Don’t forget to follow the show to get the latest! And share with anyone who would like this stuff - thanks - - Clint :) Resources: What is an Anglican Church?? https://anglicanchurch.net/anglicanism/ How are pastors different than 'regular' (lay) folks? https://learn.ligonier.org/qas/are-preachers-and-pastors-more-important-than-other-christians Jargon decoder: The word 'ordain' means "to set aside for special use". An ordination ceremony is where this is applied to a person in a formal, publicly recognized way. What is driving this national housing shortage that is affecting Millenials and Gen Z so much?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
