What do you do when the difficult person is sitting three chairs down at Bible study… or leading it?
Church relationships can get especially confusing when you add grace, forgiveness, patience, keeping the peace, and that little voice that says, “Good Christian women don’t make trouble.”
In this conversation with Jennifer Y. Afriyie, we’re talking about what happens when women hurt women in church, why we sometimes put up with more than we should, and how we can have compassion without giving away our agency.
Listen in for:
➡️ How we can be kind, compassionate AND still say, “That’s not okay.”
➡️ Strong personality, difficult behavior, or bullying? They’re not all the same.
➡️ When difficult or disappointing crosses the line into destructive
➡️ Why church can make bad behavior weirdly hard to deal with
➡️ Why strong, giving, forgiving women sometimes stay in unhealthy situations
