Welcome To the show today! I am so glad you are here. We’re still in the “Your Work Matters Series” and we’re tackling a topic that is relevant to both work and our personal relationships.

Today we are with my friend, Donna Jones, and we are sharing the truth about conflict and what common behaviors destroy both your personal and work relationships,

Donna Jones is a national speaker, church planter, pastor's wife, author, writer, podcast host, and self-described "Bible-explainer." She hosts the weekly That's Just What I Needed podcast, 

In this episode, Donna shares insights from her new book, Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life: A Biblical Guide for Communicating Thoughts, Feelings, and Opinions with Grace, Truth, and Zero Regret, and teaches us how to handle conflict in a God-honoring way and how to communicate our thoughts, feelings, and opinions with grace, truth, and zero regret.

Join Donna and I as we talk about:

• Identifying our expectations and communicating them

Favorite quotes: 

“A lot of our conflicts can be preemptive if we communicate upfront.” (11:25)

“When we are dealing with somebody’s difficult emotions, if we don’t just listen people escalate or they end always. When we are dealing with difficult things the best thing to do is just listen.” (25:09) 

“So many of us think that conflict is bad because we have never learned to work through conflict in a way that makes it turn out good.” (32:04)
