5 Tips so a Hard Conversation Helps, not Hurts with Donna Jones
Hey Friend!
Do you have a friend or loved one you hope would change, even just a bit? ? I know we all do. The question we tackle in today's episode is, “how can we talk about something that needs to change in a way that will help, not hurt?”
We take a look at Matthew 7:5, where Jesus teaches us about removing a speck from another person’s eye. To make things practical and fun, I share how needing my husband to remove my contact lenses taught me how vulnerable we feel when someone else has to remove something from our eye (or our life!)And, because I always want to leave us knowing what to do next, I share 5 tips for addressing someone else’s “speck” in a way that will help the relationship, not hurt the relationship.
xo,
Donna
