How To Navigate Conflict Like A Pro And Save Thanksgiving

Just in time for Thanksgiving, mediator and psychologist Dr. Emily Taylor joins Lisa for a masterclass in navigating tricky topics when they come up at the dinner table... and elsewhere.

What strategies can you use to keep those conversations civil and productive, rather than contentious? And of course, in that all-too-familiar family gathering setting, what do you do when someone you love brings up a topic that you don't? Turns out, you don't have to wing it.

Loving God & Neighbor

Today, we're bringing you a special episode recorded live from the Restore gathering, where we were joined by Jared Halverson. Jared, who’s become a familiar voice to many of us here, spoke on what he calls “contraries” or paradoxes that are inherent in a life of faith. His message felt like a breath of fresh air and especially timely.He offers the powerful image of the cross as a symbol of wholeness in our discipleship. One axis, reaching vertically, represents our connection to God, while the horizontal beam represents the love and care we extend outward to embrace those around us.

Mormon 8-9
