41:Humility and Conflict- A Cry For Relational Revival In The Church

Summary

In this episode of the Grace Raised Podcast, Riah Jaffrey raises a plea to the church to step into a more radical form of humility in relationships. She emphasizes the need for humility, love, and accountability, drawing on personal experiences and scriptural teachings. As the conversation elaborates on the cost of the cross and the accountability needed for our sanctifying growth in community, Riah encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and to strive for a Christ-like love that prioritizes the well-being of others over self-preservation. In the face of relational conflict, wounded by the people we love, how are we called to live? In a culture that emphasizes "self help", self-identities" and "boundaries" and falls into habits of using trigger words to control the relationships we exist with, Riah cries out to the church to remember our identity in Christ and the life we lost as we gave it to follow after Jesus.

Join us as we share what it is to walk in relationship with Jesus; where we discover new life in death and step into the supernatural power of God’s Grace and Glory.
