A proposito di questo titolo
In this episode, David Sommerdorf addresses the "giant of bitterness" by emphasizing the biblical necessity of handling offenses properly to prevent them from becoming deep-seated roots. Building on the previous steps of expecting offenses and refusing to take them personally, Sommerdorf highlights the command in Matthew 18:15 to approach an offending party alone first rather than gossiping or building a "coalition" against them. He illustrates the "incredible damage" caused by ignoring this principle through a personal anecdote in which he publicly criticized a difficult employee, only to feel regret when the man later thanked him for his patience and fatherly example. Sommerdorf concludes that failing to deal with issues privately leads believers to "create their own monsters"—unnecessary conflicts and reputational damage—whereas following God's instruction fosters humility and reconciliation.
