Shalom! Welcome to episode 24 of Overcoming Daily with Anna Johnson.
Today's overcomer tidbit is this: the overcomer has difficult conversations.
Do you avoid conflict? Are you tempted to be quiet when you are called to speak? Time and time again, I have seen as a therapist and as a coach, people avoiding conflict. And not only are they avoiding conflict, they are avoiding conflict to the extent that it hinders healing and overcoming.
What I've learned is as followers of Messiah, we are called to have difficult conversations. We see that Messiah was not afraid to have difficult conversations. And what I mean by difficult conversations, are conversations that stir people up. They may even infuriate people a bit. Or they may even put you in a place of being persecuted or thought lowly of.

And what we fail to recognize is that healing doesn't come from avoiding painful topics, but it comes from addressing them.
