Why do small disagreements turn into lasting tension—and why do we keep having the same conflicts over and over again? Often, it’s not the issue itself, but the habits we bring into the conversation that quietly sabotage peace before it ever has a chance.

In this episode of Sunday Ripple, we explore the common conflict habits that hinder resolution—exaggeration, defensiveness, mind-reading, emotional withdrawal, and avoidance—and how Scripture invites us into a wiser, gentler way. Drawing from James 1, Proverbs, and the lived realities of leadership, parenting, and everyday relationships, this conversation is honest, self-aware, and surprisingly practical.

If you’ve ever said “you always” or “you never,” shut down a hard conversation to avoid saying the wrong thing, or realized too late that your words did more harm than good, this episode is for you. Listen in, reflect prayerfully, and consider how small changes in the way you handle conflict can lead to deeper trust, healthier relationships, and lasting peace.
