50. Dr. Condoleezza Rice on Navigating Political Division
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re living in a culture of division.
So how do you follow Jesus…when you deeply disagree with someone?
In this conversation, John Ortberg sits down with Condoleezza Rice to explore how faith shapes the way we navigate politics, disagreement, and relationships.
Together, they unpack:
- Why it’s so hard to love your “opponents”
- How to disagree without losing respect
- The role of humility, curiosity, and friendship
- And why prayer may be the most important habit of all
Because following Jesus doesn’t remove disagreement…but it transforms how we live within it.
