"Perhaps, like a field in the springtime that is newly plowed, my brain, my opinions, my algorithms, need to be turned over, leaving me a little unsettled," says Dr. Carol Bier-Laning, who dove into Courageous Conversations from day one — and has leaned in with beautiful curiosity and humility since. In this episode, hosts Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque & Jessica Green invite Carol to reflect on what she is learning and how she is shifting — including understanding her privilege, examining her biases, and finding the right moments to scatter seeds with others, not knowing which will find fertile ground.
