GROUNDWORK - Dealing with Difficult Relatives During the Holidays with Kris Anderson

The holidays can bring out the best in us — and sometimes, the worst in our families. One minute you’re catching up over coffee, and the next, someone’s brought up that topic — the parenting critique, the church debate, or the political zinger that changes the mood at the table. If you’ve ever wished you could walk into those gatherings with calm instead of tension, this episode is for you. Pastor Mike Collins talks with Kris Anderson, a Christian counselor from Building Bridges Christian Counseling, about how to approach family stress with wisdom and grace. Together they unpack how to set boundaries, manage triggers, and show love even when conversations get complicated. 🌿 Resources Mentioned Building Bridges Christian Counseling (Kris Anderson): https://buildingbridgescc.com Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend (https://www.amazon.com/Boundaries-Updated-Expanded-When-Control/dp/0310351804) Solid Ground Church Resources: https://sgbic.com 🙌 Connect with Us: 📺 Watch more Groundwork episodes → https://sgbic.com/groundwork 🌐 Visit our website for sermons, resources & community info → https://sgbic.com ▶️ Solid Ground Church YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@solidgroundbic 🎧 Listen to Groundwork and Sunday messages on Podbean → https://sgbic.podbean.com or your favorite podcast app.   💬 Join the Conversation Who’s the “difficult person” you’re praying for this holiday season?
