conflict management marriage podcast Sep 25, 2020

Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. 2 I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren’t ready for anything stronger. And you still aren’t ready, 3 for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn’t that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren’t you living like people of the world? I Corinthians 3:1-3

  • Think unresolved conflict is no big deal?
    • Can't receive healthy, biblical, wise counsel because of unresolved conflict
      • Jealousy, unforgiveness, bitterness, mean-spiritedness, etc.
  • It is not our circumstances dragging us down! It is our reactions to each other causing chaos.

The mathematical formula for your best life is = T - H + PR * KR

  • Turd - Happiness + Personal Responsibility * Kind Reaction
IT WORKS IF YOU WORK IT
