How should we handle someone who has deeply wronged us—especially when it’s a friend or family member?
In this insightful reflection from SoT faculty member Dr Ben Durheim, we explore the two-fold challenge of addressing conflict in our relationships: the duty to speak truth about harm, and the surprising message behind treating someone as a “tax collector or Gentile.” Rather than a call to cold exclusion, Jesus’ relationship with tax collectors reveals a radical message of hope, boundaries, and redemption.
Join us as we unpack what it truly means to pursue genuine reconciliation without ignoring the truth.
