E135: Navigating Conflict - Love Your Enemy... But How?
Are we in conflict or are we enemies?
How can I tell the difference between someone I'm in conflict with and someone who's an enemy? As a Christian, can I even have enemies? If so, how do I treat them?
Many of these questions are pretty easy to answer from Scripture. Where things get difficult, though, is realizing how badly I need to be transformed to be able to follow through. This week, our guest Michele Arndt (pastor, worship leader) helps us gain a better understanding of the extraordinarily high standard Jesus sets when he says, "Love your enemies."
