Leann, Melissa and Nate continue their discussion by talking about the best ways to respond to emotional vulnerability and how it offers power for disarming conflict.
Ponder Questions:
Am I choosing to take on bitter cups without becoming bitter?
Am I willing to get into the arena?
What type of conversations am I choosing to have with the people I care about most?
Invitation:
How can I be more vulnerable in my closest relationships?
