Dealing with defensiveness?

If you want to know how to deal with defensiveness, you’ll need to know the basic why’s and how’s of respect. 

Here’s why:

Defensiveness divides in relationships. I don’t think there’s a better place to find those answers than this radio show I did with Debbie Chavez. God used her to pull out the right questions, gave me some answers, and while neither of us is perfect, I think He’s pleased.

Even if you know what you’re doing, there are some hostage negotiator-style skills in this. I feel led to send it out to you and let you know you can share wildly. We talk a lot about deflating defensiveness and how to be a woman of strength and dignity.

I don’t know if you know about this, but we also have a free new eCourse on connecting and dealing with conflict. I named it simply, Deeper Connections, and you can have access to it right here. 

I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much for being here, and sticking with me as I try to balance my family, teaching, writing, and the ministry.   You mean so much to me!

Let me know what you think about the show! Feel free to add comments or ask questions here when you are done listening.

Love to you,

Nina
