Ezra Washington's Perspective - Part 1

Recently, I “met” Ezra Washington online in the comments section of an Instagram post that involved Christians, Conservatives, and social justice.

Yes, that’s right! We met on Instagram while discussing differing ideas. And after some friendly back-and-forth, we decided to record our chat so I could share it as a podcast episode.

I’ve personally experienced what I consider to be intolerance from some around me. And I’ve seen an unwillingness to engage in healthy and productive conversations from some with others who disagree. It only exacerbates the divide between people without bridging the gap.

But it was clear to me that even though Ezra and I disagreed on topics, even some that can be emotionally charged and polarizing, we were friendly with each other. We actually listened to each other. And rather than focusing heavily on making our own points and emphasizing our own ideas, I felt like we were truly trying to understand each other better.

And so I thought sharing this recording of our conversation might be something to serve as an example that conversations like this can happen. And thankfully, Ezra graciously agreed.

This is the first of two episodes with Ezra so be on the lookout for part 2 coming soon!
