Can You Be Right and Still Be Wrong?

Examining our responses when our convictions are challenged.

Ephesians 4:15 (NKJV) · Speaking the Truth in Love

Think about a recent disagreement. Reflect on what happened, what mattered to you, and how you responded. This is an opportunity for honest examination, not self-condemnation.

01 | Conviction

What was the disagreement about, and why was your position important to you?

Consider what you were defending and why it mattered.

02 | Communication

How did I respond when the other person questioned or disagreed with me?

Pay attention to your words, tone, timing, and willingness to listen.

Was I seeking to communicate truth, or had I become invested in being acknowledged as right?

If I could revisit the conversation, what would I communicate differently?

03 | Accountability

Is there anything about my attitude, words, or behavior that I need to acknowledge or correct?

Recognize what belongs to you without assuming responsibility for another person's choices.

How can I take responsibility for my response while respecting the other person's responsibility?

04 | Growth

What would greater humility, patience, or gentleness look like in a similar conversation?

Identify a response you can practice the next time your convictions are challenged.

Is there a conversation to revisit, an apology to offer, or a response to change?

Carry This Forward

This week, pay attention to how you respond when your perspective is challenged. You don't have to compromise what is true to demonstrate humility, patience, and love.
