CLATV Leader ShowcaseShifting Culture - Ep. 356 Andrew DeCort - Neighbor Love and the Abolition of OtheringAndrew DeCort joins me to explore what it means to love our neighbor — not as a vague ideal, but as a radical way of living that can heal our divisions and reshape our world.

Cabernet and PrayReviving the Golden Rule (with Andrew DeCort) | Ep. 53In this episode, we dig into why the most famous command in Christianity has become more of a coffee mug slogan than an actual way of life. We’ll explore how we’ve domesticated Jesus’ radical ethic into something polite and toothless… and what it would take to bring its wild, world-flipping power back. We’ll look at what happens when faith stops being about certainty and starts being about curiosity. Pour a glass, pull up a chair, and let’s talk about how to actually live the thing Jesus said was the point all along.
