In our first segment, we share our grief over the death of Rachel Held Evans. We also talk about conflict in the Middle East (in both Gaza and Iran) and the continuing drama between Attorney General Bill Barr and Congress. In the main segment, we have a conversation about some big ideas that have been floating around the internet lately including the Bring Down the House documentary on Netflix, women working long hours and experiencing burnout in the workplace, tragedy, and empathy.  We want to hear your opinions! Please take a couple minutes and fill out our 2019 listener survey. We are thinking big about the future of the podcast and and we can't possibly continue down that road without your guidance.  We are so thankful to our wonderful patrons who support the show.
