We Have To Get This Right

Restoring broken relationships, bringing correction, and having difficult conversations are all part of life in the body of Christ—but they’re also areas where we often get it wrong.

So what should we do in these moments? What does it look like to handle them well?

Scripture gives us clear guidance, and when we don’t follow it, even with good intentions, we can deeply wound other believers and cause unnecessary hurt.

There are three common mistakes that repeatedly cause damage:

1. Assumptions — filling in the gaps and believing we understand someone’s motives without truly knowing.

2. Presumptions — acting on beliefs as if they’re facts, often with a sense of authority but without clear evidence.

3. Poor timing — addressing someone’s struggle in the wrong way or at the wrong moment.

We’ll take a deeper look at each of these and learn how to approach them in a way that brings healing, wisdom, and restoration.
