Walls don’t appear overnight—they’re built brick by brick through unmet expectations, unspoken disappointments, gossip, and pride. In this honest, hope-filled conversation, Allen & Stacy Jo walk through a Biblical roadmap for reconciliation: forgive first, create safe spaces for real dialogue, and choose humility over “being right.” Whether you’re navigating tension in marriage, friendship, church, or your team at work, this episode will help you trade isolation for freedom, unity, and peace.

• How the cross tore down the dividing wall (Ephesians 2)
