These ground rules for having healthy conversations — especially when discussing hard spiritual topics to agree on — have helped me and continue to help me. (i learned them in a church seminar years ago and would give the presenter credit if i could only recall his name.)
#1. We will begin our conversation by celebrating what we agree on.
#2. We will then, and only then, begin to tenderly investigate what we disagree on.
#3. And finally, regardless of our conclusions in the hard conversations, i still want us to be friends.
And i added….
#4: i would like the gift of staying in the conversation with you in the future. -kww #iamadebtor #NazGA2023
Sincerely,
Pastor Kerry Willis
