Is winning the argument costing you?

You’ve made your point. You’ve had the last word. But are you any closer to the person you love?

Conflict has a way of shifting our focus from protecting a relationship to proving we’re right. Before long, we’re treating someone we love like an opponent we need to defeat.

In this episode of the Patros Podcast, we talk about how to approach conflict with wisdom, courage, and faith:

• Recognize the real enemy—and how pride, resentment, and division can turn us against each other.
• Know when to engage—and when taking a breath can lead to a better conversation.
• Keep pursuing repair—even when progress requires humility, patience, and another hard conversation.

Think of a relationship where things have been tense lately. What could change if your next conversation started with a desire to understand?
