Summary

What do you do when someone you care about has a major blind spot that's self-destructive or hurtful to you and others? In the second half of this series, the team makes it practical as John asks Stasi, Allen, and Stacey how they'd react to several "what if" scenarios. Their responses may surprise you. Hard conversations aren't easy, but they also aren't to be feared—once you ask God if and when to engage, what to say, and how to say it.
Show Notes: You can sign up for Wild at Heart's Friday video emails at https://wildatheart.org/media/johns-weekly-video-update/. The verse John references is John 12:49 (NLT): "I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it."

Okay, let me give you a couple scenarios. You're at a family reunion. Your sister, or even more troublesome, your sister-in-law, she's caustic and abrasive, and you know that she probably doesn't have ears to hear that. Now she's doing it to your kids. What would you do? How would you handle that? Scenario number two. This one is a friend that you see something harmful in you're not experiencing the harm so much as you just see it's harmful for them. How would you approach that?

0:32.7

I hate those conversations.

0:37.6

You have found your way to the Wild at Heart podcast.

0:41.5

And if that was intentional, welcome back.

0:44.9

And if it was unintentional, hello.

0:48.2

Maybe God has something for you here.

0:50.6

Hang on.

We're glad that you are all here. Now, last week,

0:57.7

this is part two of a conversation we began last week around having difficult conversations.

And I started last week with one of what we call my Friday videos. So a couple of years ago,

I started doing Friday videos for our

core audience. It's by subscription. It's free, but you need to sign up for it. We'll put how to do that in

1:18.9

the show notes. I did one on difficult conversations that I was in the midst of, and it resonated

1:25.5

with people so much that we decided to come into the studio

1:28.6

and have a longer reflection on that. I want to play part two now of the next week's Friday video.

1:37.9

It's kind of like part two of what I raised in the first Friday video. We're going to start with

1:42.4

that and let that stir some thoughts

1:46.3

and some emotion in us and then dive back in with Alan, Stacey, and Stacey.

1:54.9

Okay, this is part two to last week because apparently last week kind of struck a chord with everyone.

2:02.9

And I was talking about difficult people, difficult conversations and what does love do?

2:09.0

And that, like, you don't get to ignore what you see because that's not loving.
