Do you avoid hard conversations, keeping the peace until something finally gives? In this episode, Fr Columba looks at why confrontation feels so difficult and why Jesus never shied away from it. Drawing on Christ's teaching about going to a brother who has wronged you, he explains the difference between being nice and being loving, and how needing to be liked can stop us from being real with the people we care about. If you find it hard to speak up, this is an invitation to a love that is honest, free and willing to get its wellies dirty.
