Welcome to The Scalpel, a program series where ideas are dissected, not people.

This series is hosted by Jim Schultz, husband, father, and Pastor at the Lighthouse Assembly of God in Brookings-Harbor, Oregon. The Scalpel is a show that endeavors to practice discernment, the definition for which is inspired by Charles Spurgeon: “Discernment is not the ability to know the difference between true and false, but true and almost true.”

In this episode, Pastor Schultz discusses civility: respectful, civil dialogue with those you disagree with – even about important things. This lays the groundwork for what The Scalpel is all about.
