I'm Hanging Up Now
by Hale and Hearty Productions
Welcome to I’m Hanging Up Now, where mother-son duo Jill and Brandon tackle the conversations most of us avoid with our family. Politics, religion, the stuff that divides us—nothing is off the proverbial dinner table.They don’t agree on much, but that’s exactly the point. Jill and Brandon know that the hard conversations are where the real understanding happens. With curiosity, honesty, and just the right amount of humor, they navigate their differences and show that disagreement doesn’t have to end in disaster—or that deafening silence of a disconnected phone line.If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to bridge a divide, grab your headphones and tune in. You might even be inspired to pick up the phone and give a member of your own family a call.

Where do you stand on the accountability ladder?
This week’s episode is a sweet one! Jill and Brandon talk through The Accountability Ladder: a tool they’ve used to relate to the world, each other and themselves. Rung by rung they swap stories, drop some top-tier life wisdom, and find common ground in their own accountability foibles.In the spirit of this episode, we take full accountability for the audio quality around 24 minutes in (it's hail season out west!).For those who’d like to print out the Accountability Ladder for their fridge: https://blogs-images.forbes.com/rodgerdeanduncan/files/2018/05/Ladder-of-Accountability.png

How much agency should USAID have?
Unlike the Super Bowl, the issue of government spending on USAID doesn’t have a clear winner. Is the government cleaning up the books with the taxpayer dollar in mind? Or are they shutting it down without a clear plan? Tune in to hear Jill and Brandon add their two cents to the USAID budget.

Does God have a plan?
