In this episode, we discuss agreeing to disagree, plus Read Watch Listen Follow and a bonus holiday edition! While you're around a literal table with family members this holiday season, neutralize heated conversations or infuse pleasant ones with even more joy by recommending our podcast! Or subscribing to it on people's phones while they're in the bathroom. Either way. What you’ll hear: The importance of disagreement in relationships The problem with processing disagreement as rejection Why we need to examine motivation for engaging (or not) in a disagreement When you do choose to engage, tips for handling the conversation with grace and guts Reminder: we don't have the power to change people's hearts; only God can do that Can I quote you on that? "Where's there's friction, there's refinement." Maggie "Sometimes the refinement comes from butting up against each other even if you don't ever come to a place of seeing eye to eye." Jacey "Seek to understand more than to be understood." Jacey "We're not sacrificing our beliefs by examining someone else's." Maggie "Ask more questions." Maggie "If we just unfollow everyone we disagree with, then we're creating these echo chambers where we can just be affirmed for our beliefs and never be challenged." Jacey "One of my recurring prayers is for my blind spots to be illuminated."
