avoiding conflicts

Today is the last day of Grace Month. All this month I’ve been sharing from my article, “10 Quick Ways to Disagree in Grace. Number ten is used when all else fails. If you can’t agree, you must disagree…in grace!

10. Agree to Disagree
Tis better to agree to disagree and live to discuss another day than to fight for your right to be a pest! Sometimes people are not ready to hear or accept what you have to say. Sometimes you are only one in a long line of people the Lord will use to share Jesus with this person. Share and discuss in love and grace and then let it go.

Yesterday we talked about not arguing when we disagree and the reason for that is so that we can live to agree that we just disagree. It is a communication myth that an effective communicator can get anyone to agree to anything. Even The Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan, wasn’t able to convert everyone to his politics. There are going to be those of us who disagree on fundamental principles such as religion and politics. In fact, good men can disagree on many things.

If at first you don’t succeed, it might be best to agree to disagree rather than trying and trying again.

I pray these tips have helped you some, but if you would like to learn more about conflicts and how to avoid, reduce or resolve them, check out our latest Art of Eloquence communication study on conflicts!

All this month I’ll be talking about the role of grace and godly communication in our daily lives from our marriages, kids, neighbors, family, friends and co-workers to how we handle the phone and social media. I’ll be sharing tips from my article, “Ten Quick Rules for Disagreeing in Grace” and expanding on it to include more insights. I’ll even share some from my upcoming new study, Say What You Mean: Avoiding, Reducing and Resolving Conflicts.

After checking out my article, for a little fun you can visit FIMM (Foot in Mouth Man) for some of his misadventures in miscommunication. There will be a new episode this coming Wednesday so stay tuned.

At the end of the show, I’ll be taking your questions which you can either call in to the show or post in the chatroom to share. Here are the details on the seminar.
