The power of bringing opposing people together to serve others

Tonight’s guest was raised in a secular Jewish home in the San Francisco Bay area and wound up marrying a woman from rural Arkansas. He recently told me, if you’re ripping someone from any number of groups – Jews, Muslims, Evangelicals, Southerners – chances are it’s a group that includes someone he loves.

Following the 2016 Presidential election, Andrew Hanauer felt like he no longer belonged to any traditional political party and that he wanted to be part of something different – something Gospel driven and inclusive. He decided to focus on efforts that combine this desire with his passion for politics and his relationships with a variety of religious leaders. He’s currently the President and CEO of One America Movement, an organization founded by faith and community leaders to tackle the division in our society. Andrew joins us to talk about our culture of political contempt and what One America is doing to address it.
