This is the weekly message from Thrive Church Online with Pastor Adam.

Pastor & Sis Chapman "Tips For Fighting Fair"

Every family faces conflict—but not every family handles it well. In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds us that the goal isn't avoiding conflict; it's honoring God through it. Healthy homes are built when parents speak truth with love, control their emotions instead of being controlled by them, and lead with grace even when tensions rise. “Fighting fair” means we don't let anger take over or bitterness take root. Instead, we model for our children what forgiveness looks like in real time. The way we handle conflict teaches them more about Jesus than our words ever could. Passage: Ephesians 4:25-28, 31-32; Romans 5:8-11 Speaker: Kevin Stiles

Conflict is inevitable—but it doesn't have to be destructive. In Week 2 of the PG Podcast, Josh and Kristin Jones go deeper into Sunday's message, Fighting Fair, Leading Well, and answer real questions about handling conflict in a way that honors God and strengthens relationships. They talk about cultivating honesty and self-control, modeling repentance and forgiveness, understanding childishness vs. sinfulness, and using conflict as a discipleship moment. If you've ever felt behind or unsure how to reset the tone in your home, this episode offers practical encouragement and simple next steps. The way we handle conflict teaches our kids more about Jesus than our words ever could.

In this powerful and heart-opening episode, I'm joined by relationship coach and registered psychotherapist (Qualifying), Tannaz Hosseinpour, for a deep dive into one of the most important skills we can learn: how to communicate with compassion—especially when things get hard.Tannaz and I explore what it really means to fight fair, how to stay regulated when emotions run high, and why our nervous system responses matter more than we think in conflict. We talk about how to validate another's experience without compromising your truth, the impact of inner voice development, and why true emotional intimacy starts with curiosity, not control.✨ In this episode we cover:The importance of nervous system regulation during conflictWhy curiosity is more effective than control in communicationLearning to hold space for multiple truths (even when you disagree)Rewriting your inner voice after parental or societal criticismNavigating triggers, emotional reactivity, and finding safety in yourselfHow conflict, when done consciously, can deepen connectionIf you've ever felt like conflict is something to avoid—or something you have to “win”—this conversation may offer a completely new perspective on healing, connection, and emotional safety.

Conflict in marriage is like a fire: handled with care, it brings warmth. Mishandled? You burn the whole house down. Every married couple fights—yes, even the ones on Instagram who do synchronized Bible study videos in matching flannel.The issue isn't if you fight—it's how you fight.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger." — James 1:19Let's talk about what fighting fair actually looks like.First, listen before you launch. Don't load up your rebuttal while your spouse is still talking. That's not a conversation—that's just verbal dodgeball.Second, tone matters. You can say, “I didn't mean that,” but once it's out there—your spouse heard it in your tone.Third, no below-the-belt shots. No bringing up 2014. No using words like “always” and “never.” (Unless you're saying, “I'll always love you,” or “I'll never give up on us.” Those are allowed.)Conflict becomes holy when you remember you're not enemies—you're allies.And hey, sometimes humor helps. If things get too heated, take a break. Walk around the block. Hug awkwardly in silence until you both crack up. Just remember—the goal is connection, not conquest.Fighting fair means inviting the Holy Spirit into the heat. It means disagreeing without dishonoring. It means saying, “Let's work through this—together—with Jesus in the middle.”Question of the Day:How can you handle disagreements with more grace and less damage?Mini Call to Action:Next time you feel tension rising, stop and pray—even if it's just, “Lord, don't let me say something dumb.” Then talk… slowly.Let's Pray:Father, teach us to fight for each other, not against each other. Help us be slow to speak, quick to listen, and filled with Your peace in every disagreement. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Because a healthy marriage doesn't avoid fights—it redeems them.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.
