Episode 8 - ELECTION TENSION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE RELATIONAL TENSION
For too many years, election season has been a source of contention for families and other important relationships. The issues about which we are passionate have become the measuring stick for our relationships, and I am not sure when this all started but I have certainly had it in my face since 2016.
What is it about issues that we allow them to rise higher in priority than our relationships? Do we believe we ARE the issues we stand for? Have those things become our identity? Granted, the issues we stand for are important. I am not belittling them. I greatly value the freedom we have to vote for them. I am simply suggesting their importance not be prioritized above people.
Three things I share around the table in this episode are:
- How to stay true to your convictions and still value relationships with different convictions
- How to value people as people despite differing issues
- How to simplify what we have complicated and build up what we have torn down a bit
All we really want as humans is to be seen, heard, known, and loved. We can give those gifts to others without compromising a single value. This episode talks about how. I invite you to come join me around the table!
