Can You Disagree Without Losing the Relationship?

We've lost the ability to disagree without losing the person. It is not just toilet paper and pecan pie. It is identity, politics, church, and marriage.A pastor and a licensed counselor talk about the lost art of disagreement. When it is a preference, you can let it go. When it is Scripture, you stand. Either way, you do not have to be a jerk.In this episode:• Why disagreement feels like a personal attack• Disagreement is not the same as disrespect• Identity in Christ vs identity in a party, a team, or a label• James 1:19. Swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath• Did Jesus disagree? Grace and truth. Woes to the Pharisees. Kindness to the woman who did not know• Check your motive. Listen to understand. Do not attack character• Biblical conviction vs personal preference vs opinion• How a husband and wife disagree without cracking the foundation• Questions to ask before you wage the battleIf you have won the argument and lost the person, this one is for you.Pastor Daniel Cox & Marie Cox · Cultural Connectionshttps://www.culturalconnectionspodcast.comCalvary Baptist Church, Englewood, Florida · https://calbaptist.netScriptureJames 1:19 · John 1:14 · Ephesians 4:15 · Matthew 23 · John 8 · Romans 3:4 · Philippians 2:3 · Luke 17:1Chapters0:00 Pecan pie0:44 Intro1:05 We are going to talk about disagreement1:38 The lost art of disagreement3:26 When it became personal5:05 Identity, politics, and labels6:05 Disagreement vs disrespect6:21 Swift to hear, slow to speak9:14 High standard, deep compassion12:06 Did Jesus disagree?14:29 Speak the truth in love15:35 Grace to those who do not know17:41 You are allowed to disagree18:02 Motive, listening, and character24:01 When to stand your ground24:50 Conviction, standard, preference26:05 Philippians 2:326:54 Disagreement in marriage28:39 Can we disagree and look like Christ?31:11 Questions to ask yourself33:38 CloseIf this helped, send it to someone you still love and still disagree with.
