About this Podcast:
How do you handle the real-world conflict in your life? Most of us were never taught how. So, this season, Mending Divides isn’t a show about conflict. It’s a collection of stories from people who were actually inside it. The moment their convictions got tested, their fears got exposed, and something in them had to change. These aren’t polished success stories. They’re honest accounts of what conflict costs, what it reveals, and what becomes possible when you do the slow, courageous work of healing instead of winning. Mending Divides is a production of Global Immersion. Hosted by Jer Swigart. Produced by Andrew Brumme. Audio post-production by Great Feeling Studios.
