Why do we have such a crippling fear of failure? We desperately scramble to cover up mistakes, to avoid staggering shame and embarrassment. I’m here to tell you that failure isn’t a dirty word! I believe in failing forward. I believe we can not only use our failures to elevate performance, but also share the invaluable lessons we learn, lifting up those around us. What if we normalized failure, even learned to embrace it? Could it be possible that our failures might be the very thing that connects us with others?

Why do we care about failures? Because each story of failure has a lesson to be learned! Professional Failure is a podcast dedicated to uncovering the upside of failure hidden in the unique stories of our guests. Our goal is to push back hard on the fear of failure and teach others how to overcome it. Join us for real stories and real people sharing sage advice on lessons they've learned and how they've worked through their setbacks. Failures are a gift! Learn to appreciate your gifts!

Too often, political questions are framed in impossible ways for the faithful Christian: We're forced to choose between social justice and biblical values, between supporting women and opposing abortion. As a result, it's easy for Christians to grow disillusioned with civic engagement or fall back into tribal extremes. This state of affairs has damaged Christian public witness and divided the church. The authors of this book represent the AND Campaign, which exists to educate and organize Christians for faithful civic and cultural engagement.
