When People Mess Up (w/ Madeline Kunin)

When People Mess Up (w/ Madeline Kunin)

Author: Islam Hassan, Amy Small, and Ken White June 13, 2020 Duration: 30:59

What do we do when someone cuts us off in traffic? What about unkind Facebook posts?

How do we decide when something is a big deal and when to let it slide?

Join us as we discuss these issues and more (including alcohol on one's beard), before being joined by Madeline Kunin to hear about her experiences as one of the true pioneers in politics.

In a world often divided by belief, Kipah, Kufi, & Collar offers a different kind of space. Each week, Imam Islam Hassan, Rabbi Amy Small, and Pastor Ken White sit down for a half-hour conversation that feels more like a thoughtful coffee chat than a formal debate. They tackle the real, daily challenges of trying to live with kindness and hope, drawing from the deep wells of their Islamic, Jewish, and Christian traditions. What makes this podcast unique is the genuine curiosity and respect between the hosts; they listen as much as they share, weaving their distinct perspectives into a tapestry of collective wisdom. The discussion doesn’t stop with them. Every episode opens with their heartfelt dialogue before welcoming a distinguished voice from their local community, adding another layer of experience to the topic at hand. This structure creates a rare and refreshing rhythm-part private reflection among friends, part public exploration with a guest. You’ll hear about patience, grief, joy, and service, all through a lens that is spiritual but grounded, faithful but deeply human. It’s a show about the practicalities of compassion, proving that dialogue across difference isn’t just possible-it can be profoundly enlightening. Tune in for a conversation that feels both timeless and urgently needed.
