How to Weather a Bad News Cycle with Jesus - Bonnie Kristian

Making It Work: God and Your Work

How do you weather the news cycle when it seems like just one piece of bad news after another? Or what if you’re in a season of your work where you just keep getting slammed with the negative? Our guest today is here to talk to us about how she fights bad news fatigue in her work. Bonnie Kristian follows the news as part of her job. As a contributing editor at The Week, Bonnie writes about foreign policy, criminal justice, election politics and more. Her op-eds have appeared in publications such as USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, Politico, and Time, among others. But Bonnie Kristian not only follows the news, she reflects on it with the grace that comes from her Christian faith. She’s also the author of the book: A Flexible Faith: Rethinking What It Means to Follow Jesus Today.
