Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp

connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

Why is it so hard for us to get along with one another?

Why are our relationships marked with conflict?

In today's episode, we'll begin a series where Paul Tripp explains that we need to look inside ourselves, not outside, to discover the source of conflict.

Now here's Paul with conflict. It's everywhere.

You're so incredibly picky.

You pick apart just about everything I do.

I'm not half as picky as you.

Sometimes I wonder if it's possible for me to ever please you.

Frankly, Seth, I don't think you even try. You just get up in the morning, do whatever you want to do.

It doesn't even seem like you spend much time thinking about me.

I just don't get it, Cindy. I can remember when we were dating how much I was impressed that we seemed to get along so easily.

You seem like you actually enjoyed seeing me, like you actually wanted to spend time with me.

Now I get the impression that you can barely stand having me around.

See? See what you just did?

That's what you always do.

You put the blame on me for this mess.

There's never even a moment of consideration that it might be you.

No, you've got it all sized up.
