Why Feedback Is a Gift, Not a Threat | Monday Push
Important Announcement about this week's events - See below Good morning, Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. - Proverbs 27:6 NLT The line “You can’t handle the truth” from A Few Good Men is famous—but it’s also painfully relevant. Friendships are meant to build us, not block our growth. Yet many of us struggle to hear honest feedback, and that struggle can keep us stuck. Last week during my live, I asked a simple but important question: Are your intentions to hurt or to help? Healthy relationships require clear motives. This applies to every relationship—marriage, family, friendships, even work. The dynamics may differ, but the foundation is the same. Today’s message is about receiving feedback. And here’s the truth: you are not always right. I can think of many moments when God, my husband, my family, or close friends lovingly pointed out areas where I needed to grow. Was it uncomfortable? Absolutely. Did it make me better? Without question. I still struggle at times, but I’m learning that the ability to receive feedback is a key trait of people who grow well. I want to grow—so I work on it. If you want healthy relationships, I challenge you to do the same. Closed mouths don’t get fed, and closed ears don’t grow. Stay open—this week, this year, and for the rest of your life. That feedback you resist might be the very thing God wants to use to move you forward. Reflection Question: - What feedback did I initially receive negatively that I can revisit with a clearer heart? Prayer of the Week: - Dear God, open my ears to hear loving correction. Help me receive feedback with humility and wisdom instead of defensiveness. Shape my heart to grow through it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
