Tackling Elephants
Richard Black
An elephant in the room is the thing everyone sees and avoids talking about. Richard walked us through Numbers 32:1-22, a passage packed with relational dynamics - requests, offense, hurt, misunderstanding, reaction, resolution, and restitution, and encouraged us to have wisdom and courage to tackle any elephants in our relationships.
