How often do we find ourselves struggling with fear and traumatic experiences? Can embracing pain, rather than fighting it, lead to healing and growth? Join us as we explore these powerful questions with our guest, Phyllis Leavitt, a retired psychotherapist, and author, who shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma and finding love and compassion through therapy and spirituality.

In today's world, it's no secret that violence and neglect are pressing issues that need to be addressed. Phyllis sheds light on how we can end this destructive cycle by reconnecting with one another, promoting positive stories in the media, and investing in families and communities. Through teaching psychology and healthy family dynamics in schools, we can create a tipping point towards a more peaceful, loving, and safe society. Listen in as we discuss the importance of making small changes in our own lives to make a significant difference in the world.

As we consider our own legacies, how can we use our unique gifts to make a lasting impact? Phyllis shares her upcoming book and her hopes for its influence before the next election. Learn about different ways to stay connected with her and find out more about her work. Together, let's remind ourselves of the importance of promoting healing, love, and connection in our world, using our unique talents and gifts to create a better future.

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.
