In this thought-provoking episode of God-sized Stories, I had the immense pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Tim Muehlhoff, professor at Biola University and co-director of the Winsome Conviction Project.
Dr. Muehlhoff and I delve into his latest book, co-authored with
Sean McDowell, titled "End a Stalemate," which couldn’t be timelier given our current polarized world.
"Addressing the heart is key to preventing emotions from wrecking our conversations," says Dr. Muehlhoff. 🙏
Our discussion encapsulates the essence of speaking truth with love, guided by Apostle Paul’s teachings.
