Recorded last week, I wanted to pull in two friends, who share my faith but are from different political parties, to chat with us about where we go from here. There are things I agree with that each of these friends believe, and there are things I don't agree with. I bet that will be true for you too. But I hope you will listen with open ears and open hearts to both Allie Beth Stuckey and Michael Wear.  Need more stories in your ears?
