Season 1, Episode 009 The Truth About Civility, and How Jesus Redefines Love

In a culture where “civil discourse” is the stuff of nostalgia, and brutal back-and-forths are the norm, there are no more “safe zones” for respectful disagreement. Conversations are now simply an onramp for scorched-earth diatribes and personal attacks. And what does Jesus think about all of this? Well, that’s a no-brainer, we say, because he’s such a nice guy. That would be comforting if it was true. Jesus was shockingly tender to some, and shockingly forceful with others. Join Rick and Becky to to learn why Jesus so radically changed his approach, based on the person he was engaging, and how we can serve a higher mission in our relationships than mere “civil discourse.” More from this Episode: Jesus-Centered Life: The Life you've always wanted with the Jesus you never knew Often times we isolate our relationship with Jesus to "prayer times" that are uninterrupted. Most of us also know we don't always have those prayer times, and they often don't go uninterrupted. What if instead of finding uninterrupted time we gave permission for Jesus to interrupt us. In this incredible book Rick Lawrence shares his practical ways of finding Jesus in everything he does and how you can find ways to do this too.
