Blessed Are the Peacemakers: The Power of Understanding in a Polarized World (with Larry Rosen)

What does it really take to be a peacemaker in a deeply divided world?

In this episode of Kingdom Over Everything, I sit down with Larry Rosen, a professional mediator with over 20 years of experience helping enemies move from conflict to understanding, both in private disputes and on some of the most polarizing political and cultural issues of our time.

Larry is the creator of The Enemies Project, a powerful video series where people on opposite sides of divisive issues sit face-to-face, not to debate or win, but to understand. What unfolds is often surprising, deeply human, and transformative.

In our conversation, we explore:
Why understanding is not weakness but rebellion
How fear and power dynamics fuel division
Why facts rarely change minds when people feel threatened
The difference between understanding and agreement
How Jesus-modeled peacemaking applies in today’s cultural climate
What it actually looks like to love your “enemy” without compromise

If you’re tired of outrage culture, exhausted by political polarization, or longing for a more Christ-like way to engage hard conversations, this episode is for you.
