In this clip, Curtis Chang and Pastor Caleb Campbell offer a hopeful alternative to white-knuckling your way through silence on politics. Their core insight: the conflict in your congregation usually isn't about policy at all — it's about safety, belonging, and purpose, because our positions have hardened into tribalized identities. So the move is formation before conversation. Together they explore why the "nasty Monday-morning inbox" is really an untrained response to an unmet need, how to paint a vivid picture of the church as a collection of misfits — zealots and tax collectors seated at Jesus's own table — bound together not by affinity but by Jesus, and how tools like Pete Scazzero's Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and The After Party help people practice the fruit of the Spirit around a real table. Get the how right, and you often won't even need to fight about the what.
