Keep the conversation going.
If we don’t talk and listen, we might inadvertently push our loved ones away. They might feel that if they can’t be honest and vulnerable about their political beliefs, they can’t be honest and vulnerable about other things that are even more important. And eventually, they may stop talking to you about them. But if we’re willing to listen and swap ideas—calmly and openly—political peace is possible. As we pursue the Biblical principle from Romans 12:18—“If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone”—we’ll enjoy close, loving relationships long after this difficult political season is over.
