Webinar - Our Neighbors Part 1

In this video Emerson discusses the intricacies of neighborly relationships. He talks about how to recognize the warning signs that signal an unhealthy dynamic, navigate the process of repairing or preventing a painful rift, and ultimately cultivate a neighborhood environment characterized by cordiality, civility, and mutual appreciation. Even if a neighbor does not respond, we can find comfort in knowing we made the effort God intended, which can take a huge weight off our shoulders.

Emerson Eggerichs, Ph.D.

Author, Speaker, Pastor

Questions to Consider

In what ways might my own actions or reactions have contributed to conflicts with my neighbors? How can I change my behavior to promote peace and understanding instead of escalating tensions?
How do I balance having a forgiving spirit with seeking justice in situations where I feel wronged or mistreated? Can I address issues with my neighbors while maintaining a heart free of anger and bitterness?
When have I jumped to conclusions about someone's intentions without having all the facts? What steps can I take to ensure I gather accurate information before forming judgments or responding to conflicts?
How well do I know the stories and struggles of my neighbors, especially those who seem difficult or unfriendly? What can I do to better understand their perspectives and show kindness, even when it’s challenging?

We Have A Blended Family

Question: My husband and I have a blended family with a total of 4 children, ranging in ages from 10-19. Prior to our marriage 2 years ago, everyone got along pretty well, but lately my teenagers have given us some trouble. My husband has not dealt with teenagers before and he finds them very disrespectful. I see him withdrawing more and more from them and even worse, from me. I have read your book, Love & Respect, and I agree with the principles. How can I apply it in this situation?

Misunderstanding 'Your Truth': The Consequences of Hasty Reactions [Video]

The phrase “your truth or my truth” is a popular phrase right now. However, the essence of this phrase is quite timeless. When I was in college in the seventies, I had hair that resembled the shape of a motorcycle helmet. I had too many outfits that included fringe. That era was about “finding truth, baby,” or “being real, man.”
