Raising Compassionate Kids in a Divided World with Whitley Keleman

This week on His House, I'm joined by Whitley Keleman—a mother, professor, podcast host, and one of those people who makes you want to see the world more like Jesus does.From teaching a class on inclusion and belonging at BYU to creating her "Sit With Me" gatherings and podcast, Whitley has spent years intentionally listening to people’s stories, building bridges across differences, and helping others feel seen. Together with her husband and three kids, she’s also chosen a life of proximity—living abroad, immersing themselves in different cultures, and raising children to see and love people deeply.In this conversation, we talk about raising compassionate kids, creating a home where people belong, what living abroad has taught their family about joy and empathy, and how hearing people’s stories changes the way we see both others and God.This episode is a reminder that Christlike love often looks like slowing down, listening longer, inviting people in, and allowing ourselves to be changed by proximity to others.If you’ve ever wondered how to raise compassionate kids, create meaningful community, or better see people the way God does—this conversation is for you.
