Episode 17. How to Have Hard Conversations

Sep 2, 2026    Pastor Jerry Brooks, Pastor Stephanie Humpa

Based on Sunday’s message, “Becoming a Reconciling People”


What if the key to reconciliation is not changing the other person, but allowing God to change something in us? In this episode of Discover Deeper, Pastor Brooks and Pastor Stephanie continue the conversation from Sunday's message about becoming a reconciling people. They explore why difficult conversations require a plan, how to approach conflict without trying to “win,” and why we should seek God before confronting someone else. The conversation also challenges the tendency to quickly label people as “toxic” or simply cut them out when relationships become uncomfortable. Instead, we are encouraged to develop a reconciliation mindset, examine our own track record, listen to others with humility, and ask God to help us see people the way He does.
