My friend, Blake, from Confessions of a Crappy Christian Podcast is filled with wisdom and boldness and she is unashamed to share that with the world. 

This discussion began as one where we were discussing difficult people and the consistent rhetoric that we're reminded of in the church: to forgive 70x7 and to turn the other cheek. These are good and righteous things! We aren't dismissing that. 

But as we dig in to dealing with toxic and harmful relationships as a christian, we discuss what that response can and should look like.

We talk about what righteous anger should look like, Jesus' boldness and how He responded to "haters", we share our own personal conflicts and how we failed and learned from those. We discuss gossip, prayer, grieving over the loss of friendships and so much more!
