Hello, everyone. This is the Faithful Life podcast. I'm at Jacobson of Faithful Man.com.

And I'm Lisa Jacobson of Club31women.com. We're so glad you're here with us.

At Faithful Life, we explore what it means to be a biblical Christian in today's world

in our marriage, parenting, church, and culture. It's real, raw, and relevant. So let's get started.

Hey, everyone, welcome back to the podcast.

So glad you're here today because we've got a great subject to talk about.

It's about conflict in the church with other believers, right?

That never happens.

But before we do dive into that, as we often do, we would like to ask you to leave a five-star review if you're enjoying our podcast or even a written review.

Those are personally encouraging and it helps get the word out. So thank you so much in advance.

Absolutely. Those last couple of written reviews, super encouraging. Well, actually,

every last one of them is. But we go to the next one and we go, oh, wow, this is encouraging.

So thank you so much for those. But let's start today with a question. Have you ever had

conflict with another person or another couple in the church? Maybe they've committed an offense

against you or maybe you've committed an offense against them. Right? Yeah. So how do you handle that?

How do you walk through it? I think in a lot of cases, we just ignore it. Yeah. That doesn't really help,

I think today there's such an emphasis in church on love, which is wonderful, of course,

but the problem is, is what do you do when you love each other, but there's an offense or a conflict?

And I think then we just don't know what to do. And I know no matter how loving your church is,

I think of our own family.

We have a very loving family, but even we have conflicts and we have to work those out.
