How To Have Difficult Discussions


There are discussions that I need to have with people, occasionally, that will be difficult. I’m pretty certain, before we even speak, that there will be some resistance and defensiveness.  But I also know that the truth needs to be spoken.  The loving thing to do is to speak the truth.  So, I take some deep breaths, I pray and ask for God’s strength and help, and then I move to a new state and begin working at a different church.

Speaking The Truth


Even if we speak the truth in loving ways there will still be some who will get upset. Lovingly speak the truth, anyhow.
