Welcome to the Carrie Newhoff Leadership Podcast. A podcast all about leadership, change and personal growth.

The goal, to help you lead like never before.

In your church or in your business.

And now your host, Carrie Newhoff.

Well, hey everybody, welcome to episode 49 of the podcast. My name is Curie Newhoff. I hope our time together today helps you lead like never before.

My guest today is a guy by the name of Scott Saul. Scott is a pastor in Nashville, Tennessee.

He is part of a mainline church, Presbyterian church.

I've got some roots in that tradition

and also worked with Tim Keller

for a few years in New York City and a number of other churches before that.

He is also an author and we are going to talk today about how to have a dialogue when you disagree

with someone and it kind of sounds like you know we should have

figured this out a long time ago maybe even in kindergarten but a lot of us didn't and I

don't know about you but when I look at my Facebook page I just get discouraged

some days and I look at our social media, my social media feed and I just see, you know, people who are just hating other people and complaining about things and I'm like, really, this is where we've come to and

were Christians in the midst of it and Scott was bothered by that too and he

actually wrote a book about it so we're gonna talk all about how to stop hating each other as Christians and how to have a civil dialogue when you

disagree. So I really really hope this is going to help debate and dialogue and I

know for me personally where I've really sort of encountered this is on my blog.

So we always tell you about the show notes and actually you can get the show notes to today's

podcast at carrying newhoof.com slash episode 49.
