Now back to the next episode...

 

Episode 211 Divisiveness: How to get along with people with opposite views

 

We live in an US V. THEM culture. True story. From politics and religion to work life and family life....everyone has an opinion and they're not afraid to use it. Today, your hosts Tracy and Cathrine dive into the divisiveness of divisiveness. They begin with a brief debate on how the word divisive is even pronounced. There are two trains of thought on that. ;0)

In this episode, you will discover...

1. Addressing the issue - Calling out the elephant in the room.
2. Overcoming Divisiveness - Wait. What? You mean it can be overcome?
3. Faith Over Fear - The real answers to the real problems.

As always, your hosts share encouragement from the Bible with you.

 

1 Corinthians 1:10

A Church Divided Over Leaders

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

 

Romans 14:13

13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.

 

Jude 17-19

A Call to Persevere

17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

 

And, they leave you with a call to action.
