The world is greatly struggling prompting me to reflect on what's going on. Part of our problem is today's argument culture where we approach people with disagree with as enemies. One way to respond is through Biola's Winsome Conviction project. More info to come.

In a time when Americans need to talk about sexuality, immigration, race, and politics we are losing the ability to talk in civil ways. Why? What has happened to our ability to talk about complex issues? And, can we rise above it and talk like neighbors, not enemies?

How bad has it gotten in today's argument culture? Sine the 2016 presidential election, nearly a third of respondents to a study said they no longer talk to a family member due to politics. Can you relate?

More evidence of today's argument culture: Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they stay quiet about their political beliefs due to the fear of offending co-workers or managers resulting in losing their job.

In a time when Americans seemingly can't agree on anything, 98% of us agree incivility is a threat to our country and 67% agree incivility is at crisis levels. Do you agree?

Is there any hope in today's argument culture? Three years ago Biola University started the Winsome Conviction Project to help improve today's communication climate. Check us out (winsomeconvction.com).
