Pastor Mark Driscoll here welcoming you to the podcast. I've been teaching the Bible for more than 30 years and real faith is an extraordinary ministry with a great team. It's not a big team but they're making a big

difference at a big impact and we'd love you to prayerfully consider

partnering with us especially with a one-time or ongoing recurring, all the proceeds will help us get Bible

teaching out and our hope, prayer and goal is next year to get to total reach

impressions included of a billion plus people hearing about Jesus Christ through Bible teaching.

Your prayers, your partnership would help us to do more and more and more and so in advance thank you for your

partnership.

No. Okay. What would some examples, not our family, because our family is pretty much like Jesus family, but hypothetically certain families, the family group tax just becomes the complaint

department or it looks like the comments in Twitter for a politician.

Yeah it's rough. It doesn't build unity and you're not going to agree on everything anyway in a family and so don't go there just talk about you know plans for fun talk about things you need prayer for talk about you know good things we

send like they send us grand kid pictures we love and videos I literally just

got one I almost canceled the episode just to see.

They yeah they send us invites to different things it's it's just a fun way of

catching up even I mean there are some negative things as far as like

sometimes they get sick and they're like hey I need help with this which is fine

a negative being so anything that is anything that would be conflict, it needs to be private and probably either on the

phone or face to face a conversation, anything that's blessing, awareness, sharing,

coordinating, that can be group and that can be public and that can be written.

But if you're like, you know, it's Christmas, who else hates mom because, you know, she failed and we all are in therapy, you know, sinned.

I mean, there are certain families that they use they weaponize the family

group text for the holidays yeah that's just it's not helpful to ever do that

bitterness it's vengeance it's not helpful yeah truck one-on-one with people if you have issues.
