Most leaders would rather do anything than have a difficult conversation. But avoiding the hard stuff doesn’t build peace — it delays it.

In this episode of Women of Faith in Leadership, we continue our series Leadership Struggles Women Don’t Talk About with a conversation about what it really means to handle conflict and correction as a Christian leader.

Together, we’ll unpack:

• Why avoiding hard conversations can quietly erode trust and culture

• How to approach them with truth, grace, and courage

• A simple 3-step framework to prepare your heart and your words before you speak

If you’ve ever struggled to find the right words, feared being misunderstood, or wished for more peace in moments of tension — this episode will equip you with both biblical wisdom and practical tools to lead with courage and compassion.

Reflection Questions to Pray and Journal Through:

1. What conversation have you been avoiding — and why?

2. What fears are holding you back from speaking the truth in love?

3. How can you prepare your heart before your next hard conversation?

Stay tuned until the end of the episode — I share a hint about something very special happening on my birthday, October 23rd! 🎉
