Rev. Kristin Powell explores the transformative spiritual practice of deep listening - particularly listening to those whose views oppose our own - drawing from Valerie Kaur's revolutionary love compass and the ancient vision of unity found in Isaiah. She reminds us that listening to our opponents is not about persuading them to our viewpoint but about tending wounds, deepening understanding, and healing the collective false belief that we are separate from one another. Rev. Kristin Powell encourages us to pause, pray, and proceed with curiosity and compassion, using story rather than debate to open hearts and bridge divides. This essential spiritual work, she affirms, requires both action and community as we move toward wholeness together.
