Roundtable: Say What You Mean<\/b><\/p>\n

You\u2019re trying to plan an event, but you can\u2019t get anyone to RSVP. You know you have to turn someone down, but you don\u2019t want to hurt their feelings. You started a text trail with a friend, and now they\u2019ve gone MIA. Sound familiar? Why is it so hard to initiate, commit, respond, be honest \u2014 all the things that are hallmarks of mature communication? Our guests discuss the importance of following up, showing up, and speaking up honestly in our relationships. There\u2019s a reason the Bible says, \u201cLet what you say be simply \u2018Yes\u2019 or \u2018No\u2019; anything more than this comes from evil (Matt. 5:37). Together we can learn how to do better, starting with this conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n
