With the midterm elections approaching, political disagreements are once again testing friendships, family relationships, and our ability to have civil conversations.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, "How can they possibly think that?!" when talking politics with a friend, family member, or colleague?
As Christians, we're called to something greater than simply winning arguments. But how do we stand firm in our convictions while treating those who disagree with us with patience, honesty, humility, and love?
Join us on Wednesday, October 28 — just six days before Election Day — as we welcome back Dr. Matthew Wilson for a timely and thought-provoking talk:
"How Can They Think That?!: Christian Engagement in a Polarized Society"
Dr. Wilson will share practical strategies for engaging constructively across political divides, challenging us to put Christian virtues into practice even when disagreements run deep.
Dr. Wilson is the Kairo Endowed Director of the Center for Faith and Learning and Associate Professor of Political Science at SMU. A Duke Ph.D., published author, and frequent political commentator, he brings a unique combination of academic expertise and Christian perspective.
Many of you will remember his excellent 2024 Great Men talk, "Disagreeing Without Being Disagreeable." We're delighted to welcome him back for another conversation that couldn't be more timely.

The Great Men Program is for men who are committed to being better. Being better means being fully engaged with our faith, our marriage, our fatherhood, and our friendships.
The way we do this is by aspiring to "Walk in the Path of St. Joseph"
We invite all men to join in our mission for a powerfully engaged man in every home. Why? Because Great Men value full engagement with other great men. We have so much to learn from each other and so much to offer to the great men in our community who are husbands, fathers, friends, colleagues, and Christians.
The Great Men Program meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month from 7:30-8:45pm (come early or stay late). We hope to see you there.
- The Great Men Program
I once again want to thank you for a fantastic program that is actually helping us become better men in the eyes of God, our family, and friends. Most importantly, it is the one or two things that I am able to take away to try and make permanent change to become a better man in my own eyes. Last nights epiphany for me, (and I'm sure that others experience other things), is that thoughts or actions start as a foot path, then a trail, then a paved road, and then a superhighway. Once the superhighway is there, it's much harder to stop the traffic, i.e. thoughts or actions....Sure, it sounds simple, and logical, but in this fast paced, information overloaded world, you do not realize that the superhighway is there. Now it's time to demolish some superhighways... Thanks again, and God bless you.
