Difficult people are draining. And if you're on empty, you will always resent someone taking more from you than they give to you.

Every challenging person in your life is a divine challenge. The Father, capital F, issues you as an opportunity for you to let the Holy Spirit transform you into the likeness of

his dear son Jesus. Listen to me, the Holy Spirit uses the rough edges of rough people to smooth

out your rough edges. The weak make every problem about everybody else.

But the strong step back, talk with God and find out where the problems are in them.

What's up everybody? Welcome to the Leaders Cut.

And if this is your first time joining us, welcome to the conversation.

If you don't know the way this works,

the intention isn't for this to just be some one-sided conversation,

nor is it even to be a conversation between me and you, you and me.

I believe God's heart, and therefore my heart for our time together, between me and you, you and me.

I believe God's heart and therefore my heart for our time together is that he would be the one,

capital H, who is the loudest, the most present,

the one moving in most power,

the one getting the most of what he wants. Not you, not me.

In this episode, we're talking about something that on its merit,

some of us might have a tendency to go, oh yeah,

we're talking about difficult people this i got difficult people

everywhere in my life and you might even go so far as to call difficult people annoying

if if you need a one-liner to kind of calibrate your heart so that we walk into this conversation humbly here's the one-liner to kind of calibrate your heart so that we walk into this conversation humbly

here's the one-liner calling people annoying when jesus doesn't see them as annoying speaks to our

annoyances more than their annoyingness here Here's the reality.
