Webinar - Our Neighbors Part 1

In this video Emerson discusses 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

Questions to Consider

In what ways might my own actions or reactions have contributed to conflicts with my neighbors? How can I change my behavior to promote peace and understanding instead of escalating tensions?
How do I balance having a forgiving spirit with seeking justice in situations where I feel wronged or mistreated? Can I address issues with my neighbors while maintaining a heart free of anger and bitterness?
When have I jumped to conclusions about someone's intentions without having all the facts? What steps can I take to ensure I gather accurate information before forming judgments or responding to conflicts?
How well do I know the stories and struggles of my neighbors, especially those who seem difficult or unfriendly? What can I do to better understand their perspectives and show kindness, even when it’s challenging?

A Forgiving Spirit Safeguards Our Well-Being and Influences Others
