Learning How to See with Brian McLaren - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Brian and his guest hosts provide insights from their own experiences to help us not only understand how our biases affect how we interact with others, but also how biases shape what’s happening in our communities, churches, and civic arenas. Most important, listeners are given ways to break out of our bias thinking bubbles to help us see ourselves and others the way God sees. Heart-opening.

This new season is so timely and relevant, the discussions are deep and insightful, and I love that it even includes movie and book recommendations. I’ll be giving these episodes multiple listens.

I am a fan of both Brian McLaren and the Center for Contemplation and Action. This season’s episodes is a nice explanation of a number of cognitive biases we deal with as humans with a particular take on how these biases are impacting our current public discourse. I came away from this season better educated and equipped to be responsive in a way which has allowed me to be more conscious of my own bias, as well as to offer more compassion to the biases of others.

This is a good listen I have recommended to many colleagues, and now I recommend it to you.

The concepts so clearly and humbly presented here should be required listening for everyone. These ideas taken to mind, heart and action could heal the world.
