Someone’s talking about you. Maybe it’s unfair. Perhaps it’s even true. Either way, the criticism stings. So, what now? Defend yourself? Clap back? Let it ruin your week? Jesus was constantly criticized, but he never let it control him. How do you handle people who are against you? Let’s talk about how Jesus would handle criticism.
You know you should say something. The issue is growing, and silence isn’t fixing it. But the last time you confronted someone, it went south—fast! So what do you do? Stay quiet? Blow up? Avoid them forever? Jesus gives us some clear direction on hard conversations. If you’re tired of conflict ruining relationships, this message is for you.
You know that moment—the one where things start getting heated. Your heart rate goes up, your mind races, and you’re ready to explode or shut down. Some people fight to win, while others avoid conflict like the plague. But what if neither of those approaches works? Jesus shows us that conflict isn’t something to fear—it’s something to handle wisely. And when done right, it can make relationships stronger, not weaker.
