You’re happily scrolling through social media to see what’s going on for the day, and then all of a sudden, you come across a post that has hundreds of comments where people (maybe even some of your friends) are having a “not-so-gracious” discussion. Should you join the conversation or unfollow that person?

Or maybe you’re about to head to a family dinner with people you love dearly, but there’s a sticky topic that’s bound to come up that makes you want to hide under the table. How do you approach that conversation while still honoring the relationships and loving those people?

Whatever or wherever your sticky situation is — online, at the table or with a co-worker — we pray this episode gives you a biblical foundation to help you navigate difficult conversations as an image-bearer of Christ. In this episode, you will…

• Understand the value and freedom gained by starting your day with an attitude of forgiveness, before you’re ever offended. 
• Be empowered to make a difference in your corner of the world by choosing to create an atmosphere of gentle responses wherever you go. 
• Learn how getting involved on social media helps and hinders your relationships, and when to respond with grace or simply not react at all.
