This blog is for a conversation with you about the people whom God puts in our spheres of influence who....
Well, candidly, drive us crazy!
They talk too much, or about inappropriate things.
They're know-it-alls who either refuse to learn, or insist on broadcasting what they know.
They're seeking free therapy for their woes while you are trying to teach a lesson.
They hijack your lesson and take over the time.
They sit there like stones, completely unresponsive and not participating.
These people are tough to love! Our first reaction is usually "Could someone please fix this person??!!"
One of the most common reasons people drop out of small groups, Bible studies, and even leadership and teaching roles is that they get so frustrated dealing with tougher-to-love people.
I'll be releasing an audio lesson on this topic in a few weeks, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, feel free to add comments with your stories and what you have found to be helpful.
