Is it possible to live with disagreement? An Interview with Grace P. Cho and Dr. Lucretia Carter Berry

This season we are celebrating the fact that Jesus chose to inconvenience Himself by joining us here on earth to take our sins on His body. And the Word tells us while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

The least we can do is open our hearts to those who may be difficult to love and make room at our tables to share His love with them in return. 

Jesus said, “They will know you by your love,” in John 13:35, but that love is being challenged through the spiritual warfare the Body of Christ has been enduring lately. And it is time for us to realize it.

Spiritual warfare is the opposition we experience from the Enemy that challenges our intimacy and authority in the Lord, and it affects everything else that we do. It affects how we show up in the world. It affects how we connect with others, and it affects how we shine the light of Christ.

Let’s talk about:

  • how we can learn from others who may not be like us at first glance,
  • how we can grow in intimacy with one another,
  • and how we can develop greater character through the challenges we encounter and the questions we ask.

Today, we’re reflecting on Colossians 3:12-15

It reads, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts since, as members of one body, you were called to peace. And be thankful. 

Grace and Dr. Lucretia Challenged Us to Think About:

  • How to engage with others who have different opinions and beliefs than yourself
  • Differences between curious and being nosy
  • How important it is to allow curiosity to inform your interactions with others
  • Living with discomfort in your marriage
  • Learning how to forgive others when it’s harder than you thought

Enough said. Press Play.
