Summary
Today on the First15 Podcast we are continuing our multi-week series on finding peace in the political season, and I have the unique privilege of getting to have this conversation with Josh and my dad, Dr. Jim Denison.
Dad is the Founder of Denison Forum, a unique resource that helps close to 2 million people get a sense of God’s perspective on the news of the day, operating at the much-needed intersection of faith and culture. And, I am so excited for you to hear his perspective on how we can find and keep a sense of peace in this political season.
We explore questions like...
-Is this political season worse than we’ve ever seen?
-How do you maintain peace when the news is so bad?
-How do we walk through this season well as Christians?
