Dive into biblical ways to manage your anger and impatience with my “Keep Your Cool, Mama!” devotional.

Episode 292 // One of the biggest threats to happy family life is… conflict. We all deal with disagreements, but that doesn’t mean we are required to argue, get angry, and yell.

It is possible to manage conflict in a healthy, biblical way that actually BUILDS your relationship.

But it’s easiest and best to AVOID conflict when you can.

It feels better, it keeps the calm, and it doesn’t mean we are avoiding important topics - it means we are approaching them at the right time, in a healthy way, for a productive conversation.

So join me today as we look at 9 common triggers for conflict, with two acronyms that will help you remember!
