Creating Dialogue and Understanding in a Diverse Society

Picture the courage it takes to leave your homeland behind with nothing but a dream and an entrepreneurial spirit. That’s exactly what our guest for today’s episode, Julie Pham, witnessed in her parents who left Vietnam and paved their way in America. A PhD, social scientist, and organization development leader, Julie seamlessly weaves together personal anecdotes and professional insights to explore the importance of investing in relationships, even, or especially, in challenging times like the current pandemic. 

Ever been in a situation where choosing the right words made all the difference? Julie Pham has. She shares a deeply personal story about advocating for her father's respectful treatment, and how this experience amplified her understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This episode also delves into her book, 'Seven Forms of Respect,' where she explores respect as a complex and subjective idea, often marred with contradictions. Julie’s insights urge us to consider the intentional nature of disrespect and how to foster a sense of belonging in our society.

Picture a world where conversations about respect take center stage, much like discussions about love languages. This is Julie's dream, and she is undeterred in her pursuit to help people grow together and build sustainable societies. We wrap up the episode by uncovering more about her book and the wealth of resources she offers on her website and YouTube channel. Tune in to learn from Julie's vision to create a world where we are better equipped to understand and respect one another. Whether it's punctuality, respect, or curiosity, Julie Pham redefines the dialogue around these concepts in a manner that's both inspiring and enlightening.

About the Podcast

Becoming Bridge Builders
Biblical Common Sense for a Divided World
Becoming Bridge Builders is a faith-centered podcast hosted by Rev. Dr. Keith Haney, created for believers who sense God’s call to lead with wisdom, courage, and compassion in a deeply divided world. In an age of cultural confusion, outrage, and fractured relationships, this podcast exists to replace societal absurdity with biblical common sense and Christ-centered clarity.
Each episode explores how God is raising up modern-day bridge builders—men and women equipped to stand firm in truth while extending grace, listening well, and leading with conviction. Through biblical teaching, cultural commentary, and practical application, Becoming Bridge Builders offers fearless yet thoughtful guidance for navigating today’s toughest issues without sacrificing faith or integrity.
Listeners will be encouraged and equipped with:
Scripture-rooted wisdom for understanding today’s cultural challenges
Practical strategies for bridging divides in families, churches, workplaces, and communities
Faith-filled leadership principles that move beyond talk into action
Bold encouragement to live out your calling with humility, courage, and purpose
Whether you are a Christian leader, a concerned believer, or someone longing for truth and unity in a broken world, Becoming Bridge Builders will challenge you to rise above fear, reject cultural chaos, and become an agent of reconciliation and transformation—right where God has placed you.
This is more than a podcast.
It’s a call to become the bridge.
