Description

The issues we tackle on this show are controversial and if there is one thing we hope to produce in ourselves and those who listen to us is the ability to have tough conversations with others. In this video, we discuss what we consider to be the top 12 guidelines for having tough conversations:  
0:00 - Introduction
1:45 - Pursuing truth is more important than proving our point  
4:39 - Seek to understand before being understood
6:01 - “Assume that the person you are listening to knows something you don't." - Dr. Jordan Peterson
7:27 - Do not assume anything about your conversation partner’s moral character or intellectual position based on hearsay or stereotypes
10:31 - Recognize that everyone has biases. Pointing out their bias does not make them wrong
15:08 - Remember that talking is thinking
20:00 - Understand that feeling uncomfortable is often a good sign
24:40 - Know that you can passionately hold to an opinion while still listening, understanding, and being open to the contrary  
25:51 - Understand how easy it is to be wrong
40:25 - Know that admitting you are wrong is not a display of weakness, but of courage
48:18 - State what you believe as precisely as possible. The only way to be understood is to be understandable
50:11 - Communicate what we believe to be true in love

Two Messianic Jewish graduate students think deeply about Messianic Jewish history and theology. We also engage with questions asked by other Jews, Hebrew Roots/One Law groups, and Christians. These questions include: Can you be Jewish and believe in Jesus? Are Gentiles obligated to keep kosher, Shabbat, and the feasts? Didn't Christianity replace Judaism? And many more! We hope to be thoughtful conversation partners with you as we explore these issues. Subscribe if you would like to join us!
