About this audiobook
Fighting, disagreements, hatred, dissension, and silence. These things seem common in the wider Christian community today. Politics, theology, and even personal preference create seemingly insurmountable rifts. It’s hard not to see ourselves as “at war” with each other.
We’re not doomed to be stuck here, though. There is a twofold path out of this destructive war, out of seeing our brothers and sisters as enemies―and into a spacious place of loving each other even as we disagree.
In Loving Disagreement, Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos bring unique insight into how the fruit of the Spirit informs our ability to engage in profound difference and conflict with love. As followers of Jesus are planted in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit grows and bears good things in our lives―and relationships and communities are changed.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just started this but I’m really excited to dig in and learn. Whatever brings unity and balance for us as Christians, I want to understand. Thank you for writing a book that will most definitely challenge me. Also, this is one of the coolest covers!!! I’d get it tattooed on me!
