What has happened to our society?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Differences of opinion have always been part of life. For decades, spouses, family members, co-workers, and neighbors have had spirited conversations about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But what was different in the past is that these disagreements wouldn\u2019t sever ties between family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we live in an argument culture that has let to nearly a third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement and nearly two-thirds of people saying they stay quiet about their beliefs due to the fear of offending others. From cyberbullying to hate speech, workplace harassment, demonizing political language, verbal abuse, and intolerance, the vast majority of us\u2015eighty-seven percent\u2015no longer feel safe in public places to share our opinions.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Sean McDowell and Tim Muehlhoff seek to end this stalemate.<\/span> They believe Christians are called to be God\u2019s ambassadors, which necessarily entails the need to listen to those around us\u2015especially people with diverse and different perspectives. In <span class=\"a-text-italic\">End the Stalemate,<\/span> you will be able to revive the art of meaningful conversations by walking through:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\">\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">How to create connection and emotional awareness<\/span> that <span class=\"a-text-italic\">opens<\/span> the door for a fair exchange of ideas and effective communication;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">How to engage in perspective-taking<\/span>, as illustrated in Scripture in a number of stories;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">How to speak the truth in love,<\/span> from a biblical understanding;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">How to structure a conversation<\/span> with those who hold diverse, and\/or seemingly threatening, views; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"a-list-item\"><span class=\"a-text-bold\">How to honor the words and perspective<\/span> of those with whom we disagree.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-bold\">Yes, we live in cancel culture.<\/span> But that doesn\u2019t mean that we as Christians need to conform to our world. Instead, we <span class=\"a-text-italic\">can<\/span> be a beacon of sanity that promotes meaningful conversations around what matters most in this life\u2015and the next.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-expanded=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div data-expanded=\"true\">Paperback, 240 pages.\u00a0 REGULAR PRICE $18<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4 id=\"title\" class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"><span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-extra-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"tcy78y-h3wi1z-mwiy5h-ihoaxj\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\">Move Past Cancel Culture to Meaningful Conversations<\/span><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5187,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,21,56,121],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5186","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books","7":"product_cat-christian-living","8":"product_cat-clearance","9":"product_cat-personal-growth","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"sale","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/5186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=5186"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=5186"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/secure.listenz.com\/saveamerica\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=5186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
