Ever wonder why conflict seems to be a constant part of our daily life? Could fear and insecurity be the hidden culprits sabotaging our ability to connect with others?

Join me as I have a fascinating conversation with therapist and author Tina Yeager. We dissect the root causes of conflict, revealing how common self-protective behaviors can actually hinder healthy communication. We also share candid insights about shifting from self-interest to a love-based approach when dealing with conflict.

Tina and I also discuss prioritizing relationships over being right and how inviting God into our hard conversations has the potential to diffuse tension and spur understanding. As one of my daughters told me, “When I know I’m about to have a hard conversation, I pray, ‘God let this be a conversation between three, not two’–me, the person, and God.” Isn’t that the most beautiful and wise advice?
