The Truth Is Always Going to Hurt | The Pursuit with James Griffin

from The Pursuit with James Griffin · host crosspointcity

When someone shuts down the moment you push back on what they believe, it's not random — there's actually a psychological reason for it. In this episode, James Griffin, Matt Moody, and Carlos Fernandez break down why so many conversations go sideways the moment truth enters the room, what motivated reasoning is and why it makes people combative instead of curious, and how Christians can stop trying to win arguments and start actually winning people.
