Amplify Peace: Creating a Better Story Together
We want to meet and engage the innovators, the doers, and the rebels who are stepping into the breeches of our day. Who are those who are making our world a more loving and compassionate place? Who are the those who are building peace and connections in a horribly divided land? And who are those who are lifting up culture with Kingdom values to promote human flourishing? Let’s have some fun and challenging conversations to help us to think, grow and walk courageously down the narrow road.
Amplify Peace: Creating a Better Story Together
Proximity Matters! - January 19, 2024
What can happen when we cross the lines and are in proximity with each other?
In this podcast interview, Salam, a Muslim, shares his insights on faith, aiming to dispel misconceptions about Islam and Muslims. The conversation centers on fostering peace and understanding by crossing cultural boundaries, discovering commonalities, and challenging stereotypes. Emphasizing the beauty of making the 'strange' familiar, the discussion encourages listeners to connect through shared humanity while acknowledging differences. The focus is on unity, not uniformity, as the interview delves into one of our Peace-Making Principles at Amplify Peace: Listening to Understand.
The goal is to see and love each other as fellow human beings, fostering compassion and better understanding. Salam's story, purpose, and faith offer a unique perspective that challenges listeners to view people with a fresh lens, potentially opening up a new world of compassion and understanding.
