My dad volunteered for the Reagan campaign. So they got married, and my mom ended up working for a Congresswoman from Massachusetts until my younger brother was born. They met there in the '70s, working for the Republican National Committee. Both of my parents moved to DC just after graduating college.
Yeah, so I was born and raised in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington DC. Tell us about your family, where you grew up and how your family became so entwined with all things political. Now here's my conversation, with Sarah Anderson. So if you'll please extend us a little bit of grace if we say anything that seems out of kilter with current political reality. In fact, we have no idea if anyone has won yet. So while we're discussing her book, we have no idea who won. I wanted to show this interview as soon after the election as possible, which means we recorded this interview the week before the election. How appropriate? But before I introduce you to Sarah, there's something I need you to keep in mind. "How Jesus teaches us to live together when politics and religion pull us apart". Rodney currently actually serves on our staff as the Founder and Director of Canopy.īut my reason for introducing you to Sarah on this particular weekend, is she recently authored a book entitled, "The Space Between Us," and the subtitle says it all. Sarah and Rodney have two sons, Asher and Pace. During the season that she worked with us, she met her future husband, Rodney Anderson. Currently, she works for Orange, creating content for high school students and leaders all over the country. I'll let her tell you more about that in just a minute. Sarah Anderson grew up in a very politically connected and politically involved family. You will understand immediately why we were so impressed with Sarah. And today you get the opportunity to meet her. When I got back home, I asked the Director of our Children's Environments to reach out and to begin the interview process. I asked her if she would be interested in working for us back in Atlanta. I did something I've never done before, and I have never done since. While we were there, we had several conversations with one of the serving staff and we were so impressed with her. 16 years ago, Sandra and I and our kids were vacationing at a guest ranch, just outside the Northern entrance, to Yellowstone National Park and the ranch, the way it was set up, there was a big dining hall and everybody ate together family style. It's been quite a week, actually it's been quite a year, hasn't it? Which makes today's special guest even more special.
