Please… for the sake of humanity… listen to this message.
I’m serious.
If we don’t figure out how to talk with each other—how to deal with conflict without setting everything on fire—then we’re just going to keep ruining Thanksgiving dinners, blowing up text threads, and unfollowing each other over pineapple pizza and politics.
We are living in the golden age of misunderstanding. Everyone is offended. Everyone is defensive. And nobody listens. We argue with strangers online, ghost our friends, and say things like, “I’m just speaking my truth,” which is often code for “I’m about to say something terrible and not take responsibility for it.”
But what if I told you the way out of this mess might just be hidden in something we should have learned from our moms?
What if validation—real, humble, Christ-centered validation—is the secret sauce for every relationship?
Not just for parenting. But for marriages. Friendships. Coworkers. And yes… even your enemies. Especially your enemies.
So yeah. For the sake of your family, your faith, and maybe even humanity itself—stick with me.
Because this message might just change the way you love people. And it all starts when your kid brings home a freaky girlfriend…
