They were confused, divided by language and background and uncertain about the future. Sound familiar? But something extraordinary happened that day. A rush of wind, tongues of fire, and suddenly everyone could understand each other. It wasn't about everyone becoming the same.

In our time of polarization, what if we began to understand each other, not by force, but by listening? Pentecost reminds us that true community begins not with agreement, but with understanding. What if we approached our divisions, not trying to win arguments, but trying to connect, not speaking louder, but listening better? The spirit of Pentecost isn't confined to religion. It's about building bridges in a world that keeps building walls. And if ever there were a time we needed that spirit, it's now. This is Dr. Scott Morris for Church Health.
