Conflict is uncomfortable, and avoiding it can feel like the safer route—but it's also a surefire way to ruin a relationship. Why is avoiding conflict so damaging and how can facing it head-on lead to stronger, healthier connections with the people you care about?
Dwell On What's Wrong
April 21, 2024 • Jordan Brokaw • Philippians 4:8, 1 Peter 4:8, John 13:34–35
If you've ever felt trapped in a spiral of negativity, constantly replaying moments of conflict or obsessing over what went wrong, you're not alone. Focusing on the negative can destroy even the strongest bonds. Are you dwelling on what's wrong, or are you letting love lead you?
