Webinar - Our Neighbors Part 2

In part 2 Emerson continues to discuss the intricacies of neighborly relationships. He talks about how to recognize the warning signs that signal an unhealthy dynamic, navigate the process of repairing or preventing a painful rift, and ultimately cultivate a neighborhood environment characterized by cordiality, civility, and mutual appreciation. Even if a neighbor does not respond, we can find comfort in knowing we made the effort God intended, which can take a huge weight off our shoulders.

Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D.

Author, Speaker, Pastor

In what ways can I reflect Christ in my interactions with difficult neighbors, and do I see Jesus in them despite their behavior?
