Conflict doesn't mean your relationship is broken... it might mean it's real. In week two of our series Cultivating Meaningful Relationships, we dig into why conflict is normal (even healthy!), and why our instinct is often to either push into someone else's space or retreat into silence instead of meeting them with curiosity. This week's sermon offers a different way to handle disagreement — not by winning, but by trading judgment for genuine curiosity about what the other person is feeling and thinking. Plus: a challenge to swap "you" statements for "I" language this week, and get curious the next time conflict shows up.
