#85 Amy Wolff [Confront the Limits of Your Love]

If someone believes, votes or thinks differently than you, are they your enemy? Are you quick to judge and dismiss people who aren't like you?  Amy is sharing her story of her unlikely friendship with a woman who is very different than she is. It started with a prompting from God for Amy to be in the world, hate her own sin more than everyone else's, and to love in a radically different way than our culture teaches. You'll hear us talk about… Disagreement without judgement How empathy does not mean endorsement Having hard, messy conversations Sharing Jesus with your life more than your words Amy Wolff is a speaker coach and President of Distinction Communication, a training firm out of Portland, OR. Amy is also a TEDx speaker coach for TEDxPortland, one of the top ten TEDx organizations in the world. When Amy's not with clients, she's running a nonprofit she accidentally started in 2017, the Don't Give Up Movement, and cheering obnoxiously loud at her daughters' at soccer games. She is also known to obsess over house plants and vacuum lines in her carpet.    MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Don't Give Up Signs The Myth We're Divided – Not All of Us The Bible Recap Signs of Hope Book   AMY'S FAVORITE 5 The Makeup Eraser Towel Coterie Brooklyn Pillows HOT baths The Journey from Text to Translations Getting Up Before the Family to Read Scripture   CONNECT WITH AMY Instagram | Facebook | Website   SUMMER OF FRIENDSHIP Summer is coming and I'll be doing something a little different on the podcast.
