Summary

Send us a textSometimes you can just sit down with someone and restore peace. You can establish some common agreements, and zip the jacket. But sometimes it's more difficult than that. Sometimes too much has happened. Too much time has passed. Someone went too far. What do you do in that case? Many people give up on the relationship, and accept division and maybe even hold resentment for years. We are Christians. We can do much better than...

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast.
0:09.2	I am your host, Chris Emerson, and we are here to talk about tips and strategies that you can employ to deepen your faith, improve your relationships, and just get the most out of your life.
0:19.9	Thank you for joining. Let's get started.
0:26.8	Okay, today we're going to talk about how to resolve conflicts. When we say conflicts, we mean
0:34.0	division. We're talking about relationships that you have where you and the other person
0:39.2	have become worlds apart. Unfortunately, this happens all the time. Sometimes it happens in families
0:45.6	where somebody said something or did something, and the people are driven apart, and now they don't
0:50.8	talk to one another, or they're not cordial or kind. Sometimes it happens in the
0:55.4	church. I really hate to say that, but even among God's people, there is some backbiting and devouring and
1:01.2	division. And I know for sure that that is not what God wants. God does not want family members to be at odds.
1:07.6	He wants them to be supportive and spiritual. God built the body of Christ to be
1:12.7	one and unified, and it does not serve God's body when we are divided and at odds with one another.
1:19.3	So we're going to talk about some practical ways, five simple tips that can help you maybe
1:25.4	mend those divisions. Now, just a quick reminder, a few weeks ago, we did
1:31.1	episode number 22, zipping the jacket. And this is in the same vein as that. I would say that
1:37.4	that's dealing with milder conflicts, maybe married people who are at odds with each other right now.
1:45.2	They're not able to get on the same page, they have trouble being productive. Instead, it turns into an argument. How can we
1:51.0	make that better? Well, back in episode 22, we said, hey, just get together, sit down and
1:57.4	establish some common interest. What do we agree on? What are some things that we
2:01.8	both consider valuable? Get some yes, yes going and see if that can give you some momentum into
2:08.5	getting back on the same page. But today is a little bit different. Sometimes it's just, well,
2:14.9	it just feels too far gone. We don't talk anymore, and I couldn't even imagine us
