Navigating challenging conversations is key to building a culture of grace. Approaching interactions from “above the line”—with love and understanding—transforms difficult situations. This three-step approach helps guide your responses: pause to gather yourself, seek God’s perspective, and personalize your feelings rather than assigning blame. Practicing these steps brings peace and mutual respect, empowering you to set a positive tone in any conversation. By embracing God’s love and letting go of the “orphan spirit,” we find the courage to communicate with compassion and integrity. Imagine the impact of choosing grace over fear, one conversation at a time.
