What if misunderstandings in our relationships could be turned into opportunities for growth and deeper connection? Join us this 4th of July weekend as our youth director, Ben Carruthers, leads us through a thoughtful examination of resolving conflict biblically. Ben begins with a light-hearted nod to those who arrive fashionably late and then dives into his sermon "Misunderstood," centered around Matthew 18:20. Through a touching story about his son Arlo, Ben illustrates the importance of grasping the full context of Scripture, especially when it comes to Jesus' teachings on managing misunderstandings and conflict.
Addressing conflict isn't easy, but it’s essential. This episode tackles the uncomfortable yet necessary act of confronting issues head-on instead of hiding behind gossip or avoidance.
