Sounds True.com, many voices, one journey. You're listening to Insights at the Edge. Today my guest is Krista Tippett. Krista Tippett is a Peabody Award winning broadcaster and New York Times best-selling author. In 2014 she received the National Humanities Medal at the

White House for thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence. On the

air and in print, Krista Tippett avoids easy answers,

embracing complexity and inviting people of every background to join her

conversation about faith, ethics, and moral wisdom.

She's the host of the award-winning public radio conversation and podcast On Being,

which opens up the animating questions at the center of human life.

She's also the author of the recent book, Becoming Wise, an inquiry into the mystery and art of living.

In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Krista and I spoke about journalism as a healing

art and the difference between being mission driven and driven by an agenda.

We talked about how change happens at the margins and how those whose identities are not on the line have a responsibility

to accompany that change. We talked about the magnetic call of virtue, and how hope is a virtue that is not to be

confused with optimism, and how Krista engages the muscular quality of hope on a daily basis.

We talked about Krista's discovery of yoga at an important time in her life,

and finally how science and spirituality come together for her as faith in the unfolding

mystery. Here's my conversation with someone who is so gifted herself at the art of conversation, Krista T I'd love to start by speaking a little bit, interviewer to interviewer if that's okay.
