Today's episode is the story of a guncle finding family and finding himself through the imagination-expanding power of relationships.
Jonathan Merritt (he/him) is an award-winning columnist and commentator on politics, spirituality, and culture. He is a contributing editor for The Week and has been featured on prominent national outlets including The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and CNN. Jonathan has authored four critically-acclaimed books and has also served as a ghostwriter on dozens of others, many of which became New York Times bestsellers. Jonathan is a proud biological Guncle to five little ones in Georgia and a proud adoptive Guncle to ten nephews and nieces in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, where he resides.
In today's episode, you'll hear Jonathan and I discuss:
- What a children's book about a Guncle can teach us about celebrating ourselves.
- Learning who we are in the midst of found family
- Embracing our differences not as liabilities but gifts
- Accepting limitations in relationships
- And the messy reality of loving across differences.
