191: How to Keep It Christian With Your Close... And Often Difficult... Relatives

Are there people in your life that are just difficult?  Do you have close relatives that aren't believers and have behaviors that make it tough to be around them?

In this episode, Sasha answers a question from the member in the Mom Life Balance Community. Janell asks, "How do you keep it Christian with difficult family members?"

Sasha, having her own experience with navigating difficult people, is happy to share 7 scriptures to help. Sasha reminds us that other peoples behaviors or actions don't dictate how we respond or react, but instead she shares scriptures that remind us of the characteristics of Christians. As Christians, we are set apart and examples or ambassadors of Christ regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in.
