When we're thinking about where we are in our lives with our political participation,

a question that emerges for me is, is this making me better, kinder, more curious, more humble,

more gentle, more grace-filled to use our word?

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pant Suit Politics, the home of grace-filled

political conversations.

Hello, everyone.

Thanks for joining us for another episode of Pant Suit Politics.

The schedule of our podcast does not always work well with political convention scheduling.

I wish they would check with us first, but they haven't.

So here's the situation.

It is Thursday morning as we are setting down to record.

Tonight we are going to join hopefully many of you on Hot Mic to watch as a community,

Joe Biden accept the nomination of his party.

So the final night of the DNC will watch together this evening we have not yet seen it.

Today we are going to talk about the convention thus far.

Next week is the RNC.

We will do a Hot Mic gathering around the RNC.

We don't have a complete schedule yet.

So watch our email newsletter and social media and check in here on the podcast next week

for information about that.

Before we dive into our thoughts on the Democratic National Convention, we just wanted to send

out lots of love and light to both the people of Iowa who had a truly historic storm.
