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.
Questions to Consider
- How do my interactions with my neighbors affect my relationships within my own family, especially my marriage?
- Do I take the time to understand and validate my neighbor's concerns before reacting to a conflict?
- How can I practice small acts of kindness towards my neighbors to build better relationships, even when there is tension?
- In what ways can I reflect Christ in my interactions with difficult neighbors, and do I see Jesus in them despite their behavior?
