The Madness of Manipulation | Broken and Whole Episode 06

Co-Hosts: Steve Macchia & Matt Scott

“One thing that’s pretty consistently true about every rude person is that they must set the agenda and be in control.” - Steve Macchia 

Rudeness is expressed through our efforts to manipulate, monitor, and manage people and circumstances surrounding us. It flows from our compulsions to set the agenda and maintain control. Is it maddening? Yes, indeed. And it can lead to great hurt and harm in our families, teams, and church relationships. This podcast conversation looks at how we can live out Paul’s charge to the Corinthians: “love is not rude.”
