There is no denying that we live in a polarized world. There seem to be no end to the cultural and political tensions that divide people. It’s easy to think that this is a uniquely modern problem. But the truth is, leading through cultural tension is actually not a new problem. It’s a challenge that’s faced every generation. Join AJ Swoboda and Russell Joyce, hosts of the Same Jesus Podcast, for an honest conversation about what it looks like to lead with courage, compassion and conviction in the moments that matter most. Drawing on the roots of who Foursquare has always been, they’ll explore how our history can speak to our present and remind us that faithful, Spirit-led leadership has always found a way forward. This episode of the Same Jesus Podcast was recorded live at Foursquare Connection 2026.
