FOR THE WIN - Week 1

We all want to win in our relationships. But if we’re being honest, relationships are not always easy. Relationships with spouses, friends, co-workers, kids, and grandkids all come with their own unique set of challenges. And sometimes those challenges can lead our relationships into turmoil. In a sense, relationships are a lot like rivers. They can be easygoing and calm one moment and then rushing rapids the next. But just as skilled rafters learn to steer around rapids, we can learn to navigate the relational rapids around us. This week we’ll take a look at the ways we’re contributing to the turmoil in our relationships. As we do, we’ll discover that changing how we respond to relational conflict is the key to navigating the rapids we encounter. And when we implement the wisdom we’ll find in Proverbs about a gentle answer, we’re setting ourselves up to win in our relationships.
