Today's podcast will continue our deep dive into the root meaning of the words confrontation and conversation. If you haven't heard last weeks episode make sure to go back so you don't miss a thing. (S1Ep13)

We've been talking about the differences and similarities between confrontation and conversation. When we break these two words down to their roots we realize that they come from the same place and have pretty much the same meaning.

Today we will use a sports analogy to understand how we view confrontation. We will also learn some of the characteristics or rules to conversation.

Communication experts, psychologist and our God all agree that when a confrontation is done right it will preserve relationships, bring people together, solve problems, and create emotional, relational, and spritual growth.

That sounds an awful like a conversation to me.
