In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Laura and I have  a rich conversation about what it really means to handle disagreements in the body of Christ. We talk about everything from repentance within our families to keeping short accounts with the Lord, and how grace, gentleness, and love should guide the way we speak.

We also get into friendships across different denominations, rejecting tribalism, and why fragile theology can so often leads to offence. With personal stories, biblical examples, and some listener comments, this one will make you think about how we can both speak the truth in love - and hear it in love.
