Is it really possible to talk lovingly and openly, face to face, with someone who thinks you\u2019re going to hell? It better be because when true believers of various faiths come together, big hard things are going to be said. My guest is knee deep in this kind of work. Simon Greer tells us the story of spending 3 weeks in conversation with Oberlin students and evangelicals from Spring Arbor University. His experiences hold many answers for how we, as Americans, might be able to actually know and understand one another. An excellent conversation to share with your most faithful friends.\n\n\nSpecial thanks to the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations for their generous support of this series.\n\n\nTo receive a short set of our weekly takeaways in your email, sign up here.\n\n\nLink to the short film featuring Simon\u2019s conversation with Evangelical Christian Elizabeth Stewart: https://www.interfaithamerica.org/resources/differences-student-story/\n\n\nCheck out the other episodes from our Rupture + Repair series:\n\n\nGoing Deep with M\xf3nica Guzm\xe1n on Making Family Work\n\n\nGoing Deep with Drs.
