Uncomfortable Friend
Wisdom of a Trusted Friend
We've all been there - in the heat of an argument or frustrating situation where our emotions start taking over. The adrenaline is pumping, harsh words are flying, and it feels like things are rapidly spiraling out of control.
In this episode, I unpack a passage from 1 Samuel 25 in which I discuss the invaluable role a trusted friend can play in being that voice of reason when we're on the verge of making rash decisions we may later regret. I talk about two significant times in my 20s when I was the wrong-doer and how my actions negatively impacted both myself, but the persons involved as well as my community. Keep listening, because toward the end, I even start having my own realizations of how the choice of discipline for our own actions and words is in itself a demonstration of love.
