ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dr. Shirley Mullen about book Claiming the Courageous Middle: Daring to Live and Work Together for a more Hopeful Future. Drawing from over four decades of experience in Christian higher education, Dr. Mullen explores what it means to be called to the middle, especially in times of deep polarization. Among the topics we discuss:
- What it means to say that the middle can be a place of courage, imagination, and hope
- When "not fitting anywhere" can be a gift and a calling
- Christian universities as middle spaces and the responsibility to steward trust while embracing complexity
- Counsel for teachers in the classroom and for the local church
