episode 189: Rising Above Toxic Hatred: Fostering Civil Conversations and Building Bridges
Can we rise above toxic hatred and engage in meaningful dialogue with those around us? Join me as I chat with Wilk Wilkinson, host of the Derate the Hate podcast, husband, father, and Christian conservative, who shares his own journey from a toxic person to someone devoted to fostering civil conversations. Wilk opens up about the mentors and inspirations in his life, including his father, who was the perfect teacher despite his imperfections.
We tackle the difficult topic of the toxic hatred that exists in the United States, fueled by politicians, mainstream media, and outrage entrepreneurs. Wilk and I explore how we can bridge the divide by engaging in civil conversations with our neighbors, finding common ground, and avoiding echo chambers. We also introduce the Braver Angels organization and their Common Ground workshops, as well as the We, The People's Project – all aimed at fostering productive and respectful dialogue.
In this thought-provoking conversation, we emphasize the importance of having honest and open interactions without prejudging others' beliefs and opinions. Together, we discuss the power of listening to those around us and building bridges to heal our divided nation. Don't miss this insightful episode that encourages us all to rise above toxic hatred, engage in meaningful dialogue, and, ultimately, "derate the hate.
