Relationships can get complicated.

A comment at work can rub you the wrong way. Someone in the family might go quiet. A friendship can become awkward, and before long you’re replaying conversations in your head and wondering what you should say next.

In this episode of The Week Ahead Podcast, Ken Robinson talks about navigating strained relationships without taking responsibility for things you simply can’t control. Drawing on Romans chapter twelve, verse eighteen, Ken considers what it means to do your part, ask God for wisdom, set healthy boundaries, and then leave another person’s response in God’s hands.

This is a practical conversation about Christian living when relationships aren’t easy. It’s about knowing when to speak, when to apologise, when to give someone some space, and when another person’s choices are no longer yours to carry.

You’ll hear about:

• How to respond calmly when someone has upset or misunderstood you
• Knowing the difference between your responsibility and theirs
• Bringing frustration and hurt honestly to God in prayer
• Setting healthy boundaries without becoming bitter
• Finding peace and trusting God when a relationship remains unresolved

You may not be able to fix a difficult relationship today. But you can ask, “Lord, how do You want me to handle my part in this?”

If you’re dealing with tension at home, at work, or with someone you care about, take a few quiet minutes to listen. And if someone comes to mind who might need this today, share the episode with them.
