Sharing the Good Stuff: “Seeking Common Ground,” on NPR

Because we need to see reasons to have hope, too . . .

NPR’s new series “Seeking Common Ground: Conversations Across the Divide” began in November 2024, and its segments now cover subjects ranging from talking to family members with differing views to singing in a choir with diverse individuals. The segments are fairly brief, running from about 4-1/2 to 8 minutes, which means that they offer food for thought more than answers. (If you like answers, try their Life Kit instead.)

Being a Southerner who was raised Baptist, I was particularly interested in “Gospel-focused racial reconciliation in the Deep South.” The story discusses people coming together in Mobile, Alabama to deal with its history.
