One of the most critical skills to learn is having brave conversations.

There are all kinds of brave conversations. But, at the core of each one is this need for authenticity and concern for both the church and for the individual.

You have heard me say that what you don’t confront becomes your culture. No one likes to have tough talks, but for the sake of what God is doing, having them is the most godly thing you can do. Avoiding them can bring entire teams, or aspect of vision to a complete stop for long periods of time.

You won’t always be perfect at it, and I have done this well and poorly. But when done in love it gives God room to do a miracle that you couldn’t have seen beforehand.

What brave conversation do you need to have this summer?

1. Pray for God’s grace on every situation.
2. Get wisdom from someone you trust.
3. Consider not having these talks alone for accountability.
4. Identify the redemptive purpose in the situation.
5. Prepare the ground of your own heart.
6. Cover the ones involved to others.
