How do we have hard conversations? | Interview with Teri Ott part 1

March 21, 2022 • People Who See • Season 1 • Episode 23

In part one of our conversation with Rev. Dr. Teri McDowell Ott, we discuss her book, Necessary Risks, and her article, “A liberal daughter discusses White privilege with her conservative father.” In this half of the conversation we ask questions like:

What kind of risks do we need to take as Christians to be liberated from our fears?

How can we re-center our lives to focus on thought leaders of color?

What is a dominator culture and how does it change our conversations?

What is the role of power and privilege in hard conversations?

Here are the books we reference in the episode!
