Nuance, listening, patience, dialogue. These things seem missing as we analyze our problems in America! We get to speak with a former police officer and current pastor, Tim Barkett, to hear his take from the perspective of those who serve. Great interview.

Topics:

1. What a difference 20 years makes... reflections on the progress of the Police force

2. "Us against Them" mentality: systemic and personal challenges

3. Riots and know your neighbors

Guest:

Rev. Tim Barkett: Pastor of Christ the King Lutheran Church and former police officer in San Diego, CA
