Episode 238: Taboo Topics With Family

Healthy relationships allow space for health conversations, even conversations regarding the hot topics of our culture at the moment. Many of us have some question we are not asking those closest to us because we are embarrassed to asked, or afraid of how others will respond. Today we learn how to start hard coversations with humble hearts, because "on the opposite side of an awkward conversation is a really beautiful place." Mike Novotny is an author, pastor, and speaker who holds a Master of Divinity from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Mike is the lead speaker for Time of Grace, a global media ministry that is committed to ensuring that God’s grace—his love, glory, and power—is accessible around the world. An independent, donor-funded ministry, Time of Grace works to remind people of the satisfaction and fulfillment found in Jesus as it works to share its message through television, print, social media, podcasts, and other practical resources.
