A Stranger Saved My Husband’s Life, Why You Think the Way You Do, and Answers to Your Questions

from The Preamble · host Sharon McMahon

A shocking phone call after a routine medical exam. Despite no symptoms, Sharon’s husband had advanced kidney disease and he would die without a transplant. She shares the deeply personal story of a stranger saving Chris’s life, and what it taught her about the selflessness of others. Plus, her fascinating conversation with Colin Woodard, author of Nations Apart, who goes back generations to explain why America is so polarized, and tells us what we can do about it.  And Sharon answers your most pressing questions: Will the U.S. take military action in Nigeria because of Christian persecution?  How can the richest country in the world be so much in debt?  Can government officials use taxpayer-funded websites for partisan attacks? If you’d like to submit a question, head to thepreamble.com/podcast – we’d love to hear from you there. And be sure to read our weekly magazine at ThePreamble.com – it’s free! Join the 350,000 people who still believe understanding is an act of hope.
