We are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves, but how do we love someone with whom we’re annoyed? How do we love those who seem to be unlovable or who have challenging personalities or obnoxious behaviors?
Biblical counselor and author Mark Baker discusses how Christians can navigate business and personal relationships with people who:
- espouse false teachings
- are boastful and prideful
- are bossy and controlling
- are know-it-all’s
- drink excessively
- are hot-tempered and easily offended
- gossip and meddle
- are selfish and self-absorbed
- complain and won’t accept help
Mark discusses elder care issues and how to honor your parents if they behave sinfully. He also teaches biblical ways to deal with anger that arises from challenging relationships.
