True unity or artificial harmony?

Conflict is inevitable— especially when you have people involved.

When handled properly (instead of avoided) conflict CAN become a fertile soil of growth and maturation for each of us…

💙

However, many of us choose artificial harmony (something that “looks like” unity) rather than TRUE ONENESS.

True unity is important…

Not only does it create sacred space where people feel safe & secure, it ALSO invites the Holy Spirit’s presence & power to supernaturally do things that only God can do (this is why David, in Psalm 133:1-2, compares unity to an anointing of God).

A few tips we discuss in this episode…

📣 Talk TO people not ABOUT people… that is, take it to them— not to others. Not even under the guise of a “prayer request” or “getting advice.”

📣 Tell them ALL of it instead of leaving parts & pieces out (i.e., omitting some details is what creates artificial, superficial connection).

📣 Affirm the relationship… and that you are “all in” with them— and that your desire to resolve the issue is based on your care and adoration of them….
