#32 Rita Chisum Braver Angels activist 3-8-23: OTOH Episode 32

Glen and April interview Rita Chisum, an Arkansan and Braver Angels activist.  In this episode, Rita describes how her family upbringing and strong Christian faith led her to being the person she is today. She also notes how those values drew her to the Braver Angels mission. As a Red politically, Rita ties her political views to her early influences, but she also notes her strong beliefs in respecting others who may disagree with her on politics, religion, and other topics. She emphasizes the importance of dealing directly but lovingly with differences one encounters when difficult conversations arise. Rita also suggests the value of providing early, developmentally appropriate education in psychology for young children, which she feels would help increase their empathy and skills for dealing with difficult issues they may face as they grow.
