Together, they unpack how propaganda and political messaging shape public perception and why critical thinking is essential in today’s divided media landscape.
The discussion delves into the intersections of faith, empathy, and social justice, highlighting the courage it takes to admit when we’re wrong and the importance of community support in politically tense times.
