The mission of Jesus is to be known by love, so why is the church known for hate? John Fugelsang attempts to answer that question in his New York Times bestselling book “Separation of Church and Hate.”

If you’re concerned about the integration of politics and religion or you’re frustrated with the hypocrisy of American Christianity, this conversation will offer ways to live with people who are acting in bad faith. When you have a better understanding of scripture, you can let that truth - and the life of Jesus as your guide - lead you to fight for mercy and love as you join in reclaiming Christianity from the extremists.

Growing up on the streets of Uganda gave Peter Mutabazi insight into the needs of vulnerable children. After a stranger saw potential him and introduced him to the fatherly love of God, his life changed in a way he never thought it would. Through taking risks, learning to forgive and breaking negative patterns, Peter became the Foster Dad Flipper. Now as an adoptive father of three and foster dad to more than 40 children, he’s making a positive difference in the lives of many kids and families.

This episode will help you grow in compassion and empathy as you unlearn stigmas and assumptions you likely have about the parents and families who find themselves struggling to care for their children. It will also provide practical ways you can help the families around you who are in the foster system.
