You Can't Control the Room—but You Can Bring Peace Into It

What do you do when you already know you're walking into tension?Maybe it's a meeting, a difficult conversation, a family situation, or simply a room where you can feel the atmosphere before anyone says a word.Romans 12:18 doesn't make you responsible for controlling everyone else or creating peace at any cost. Paul calls us to take responsibility for our part.And in the larger context of Romans 12, that pursuit of peace grows out of something deeper: God's mercy changing the way we respond.Today on the Lifeline Morning Show Podcast, we're talking about what happens when you stop trying to control the room- and start paying attention to what you're bringing into it.
