This week we begin a four part series, Come Let Us Reason Together. This series features four conversations with myself, Pastor Ray Jewell and Ray's longtime friend, David Swanson. Our overall theme is engaging with those we may not always agree with. This week we focus on the humility of listening to others.

Although a bit rambling at times, I wanted to share my heart with all of you. My plea is that we tone down the rhetoric that leads to such violence and instead contend for the faith with love and truth.
