Episode notes
Start By Reflecting Their View
- Articulate the other person's view before responding to show understanding and open dialogue.
- Rephrase objections like concerns about harm to women to reduce defensiveness and enable truth-sharing.
Balance Grace And Truth Intentionally
- Know your disposition: grace-giver or truth-teller, and compensate for its weaknesses deliberately.
- Pray, pause, or serve as needed instead of defaulting to confrontation or silence.
Decide What You Won’t Compromise
- Develop a theology of losing friends so you know which compromises you won't make to preserve relationships.
- Refuse to lie to keep a friendship and accept losing ties rather than betraying convictions.
