In this episode, we sit down with writer, speaker, and Interfaith America founder and president Eboo Patel. Together with Rabbi David Ingber, Patel reflects on his lifelong commitment to pluralism and his work advancing a vision of America in which people of different faiths, worldviews, and backgrounds contribute to a shared civic life.
Drawing on decades of experience building bridges across deep divides, they explore the role of faith in shaping America’s future and the challenges of fostering cooperation in an increasingly polarized society. Patel also reflects on his own experience growing up as the son of Indian immigrants, and the lessons he learned about finding a sense of belonging while preserving his identity and taking pride in his heritage.
They discuss how distinct identities can become sources of connection rather than division, and what it takes to build a more cohesive community grounded in a shared sense of purpose.
