Did you know that ‘rightness’ can cause relational deafness?

When we enter into conversations with people who hold different perspectives than ours, we can choose to be right or we can choose to be relational but we can’t be both. This doesn’t mean that we must abandon all of our beliefs and principals in order to have relationships, it means that we can check our fear at the door and find the common space we share. Community is not meant to lead to fight club, it’s meant to lead to connection and growth. We can do this, I believe in us!
