8:8Unspoken Battles:The hidden cost of conflict avoidance

8:8Unspoken Battles:The hidden cost of conflict avoidance

Let’s be honest conflict can feel scary. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, a co-worker, or even within ourselves, most of us would rather avoid the awkward conversation and just keep the peace.

But what if that’s not real peace?

     In this week’s episode of the Positive Talk Podcast, Chuck and Julie take us into one of the most universally challenging topics:
CONFLICT: Why We Avoid It & How to Face It.

Together, they explore:

  • Why some of us shut down in the face of disagreement

  • How conflict avoidance may be costing us more than we realize

  • A biblical view of confrontation, connection, and forgiveness

  • Practical steps to handle conflict with calm, clarity, and courage

  • How forgiveness frees you, not just the other person


If you’ve ever walked away from a hard conversation and thought, “There has to be a better way…” this episode is for you.
