Can We Talk Politics Without Fighting? Finding Common Ground in a Divided America w/ David DeightonIn this episode of the Wheel With It Podcast, I sit down to talk about how we can communicate across our differences, listen to people we disagree with, and find common ground in an increasingly divided world.We discuss the importance of having real conversations without immediately writing someone off because they see an issue differently. At a time when political, cultural, and social disagreements can quickly become personal, this conversation explores what it looks like to listen more, disagree better, and treat one another with respect.Different views don’t have to prevent real conversations. In fact, those conversations may be exactly what we need to build a stronger tomorrow.👉 Connect with David:https://www.youtube.com/@triptych-dialoguehttps://www.triptychdialogue.com/instagram.com/triptych_dialogue📚 Order Dr. Frank Turek and Phoenix Hayes’ new book, *The War on Reality*: https://thewaronreality.com✝️ Learn more about Dr. Frank Turek and the CrossExamined ministry: https://crossexamined.org#WheelWithIt #Podcast #FindingCommonGround #CanWeTalkAgain #FrankTurek #CrossExamined #TheWarOnReality #CivilDiscourse #Communication #DifferentPerspectives👉 Subscribe to this channel and hit the bell so you don’t miss future podcast episodes and other fun content!👉 Connect with Devon & Wheel With It📲 Follow us on social media: wheelwithit.com/followus📤 Contact us: wheelwithit.com/contact🎁 Support Wheel With It 💙If you enjoy the Wheel With It Podcast and would like to support me personally, contributions help with my disability-related needs, everyday living expenses, and travel expenses.

The 12th Known Case in the World | Josh and Riley Turner’s Incredible Story | Wheel with It Podcast

Riley Turner spent 12 years without a diagnosis before her family finally received an extraordinary answer: she was the 12th known case in the world with her rare genetic condition.

In this episode of the Wheel With It Podcast, Riley and her dad, Pastor Josh Turner, share her remarkable story—from doctors initially believing she had spinal muscular atrophy and telling her family she might only live a year, to eventually receiving her diagnosis and discovering her own voice.

Josh shares the emotional story of the first time Riley spoke after her family had been told her vocal cords weren't strong enough for her to speak. Today, Riley is pursuing a degree in ministry with the goal of becoming a preacher.

We also talk candidly about disability stereotypes, faith, Medicaid waivers, the challenges that forced Riley's family to move from Florida to Georgia, disability-related marriage and financial issues, and what needs to change within the Medicaid system.

I Wasn't Expecting THIS... | The Chosen Season 6 Trailer Reaction

Watch the trailer here https://youtu.be/nymMxV88QyY?si=s72C9ob440BZ_O4V

The Season 6 trailer for The Chosen is finally here, and I wasn't prepared for what I saw.

In this reaction, I share my thoughts on the trailer, discuss why I believe this could be the most emotional season yet, and explain how the series has changed the way many people experience the Gospel story. I also talk about the historical accuracy behind the crucifixion scenes and why they may be unlike anything we've seen before.
