Sharon McMahon: Drops Make an Ocean

Everything Happens with Kate Bowler

It is a hard time to be a person in the world given the volatile political climate or state of our world or the realities we’re facing in our family. But the weight of the world’s problems are not on your shoulders alone. Sharon McMahon, America’s Government Teacher, joins Kate for a hopeful conversation that reminds us all of the small, faithful ways we can make a difference in our communities.

In this conversation, Kate and Sharon discuss:

• why it’s not our job to fix every problem

• how ordinary people can have an extraordinary impact

• how to engage with others who may think or act (or vote!) differently than you
