50. Dr. Condoleezza Rice on Navigating Political Division
About this episode
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.
