Spheres of Influence Podcast: We Have Some Healing to Do

Like all good GenXers, Dennis wants to take you back to the 1990s! In this episode, Dennis recounts an experience he witnessed in a church basement nearly 30 years ago that is a reminder of how people with differing views still shared common ground. They shared a common faith that was able to hold them together even when they disagreed. What has happened in our culture that you can't find that kind of unity anymore? Dennis explores how religion has become swallowed up by politics and how we have made politics an idol, not unlike what happened at a certain political conference in Florida where the likeness of a certain former president covered in gold was worshipped.., like an idol.

Dennis Sanders is an ordained minister, so talks about religion. He's moved in center-right circles for two decades, and he likes to talk about politics. In our modern age, it's hard to find spaces where you can talk about these topics and where they might intersect without it becoming a shouting match. Religion, politics, family are all spheres of life. Each is different and its own unique sphere. Dennis wants to talk about these issues giving you the listener space to question and converse. You're invited to listen and engage.
