Show notes:
To combat today’s political polarization and violence, a distinguished group of Wyoming faith, business, and community leaders recently launched the “Become a Peacemaker” initiative, “calling Christians to restore grace in public life”. In the biblical Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:9), Jesus said: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God”.
My guest on today’s episode is Become a Peacemaker board member Ron Rabou. In addition to his work on Become a Peacemaker, Ron Rabou is President and CEO of Rabou Farms, a noted public speaker, and author of Keep It Simple: The 12 Core Values that Lead to Personal and Professional Success and Make Your OWN Way: One Family’s Story of Breaking the Mold and Achieving Independence in American Agriculture. We discuss the Become a Peacemaker initiative, its connection to the biblical concept of grace, and the challenge of political polarization in America and Wyoming.
