When in high stress situations, do you escalate them by bringing the same energy and going off? Or do you surrender your strength to God and live a life of meekness?

We talk sacrificing purpose and unity to go slap off, and the lack of tools we often have to deescalate situations.   She Reads Truth- Gentleness- https://shereadstruth.com/2015/05/20/gentleness/ Schedule http://www.jamekaleapoffaith.com/2019/02/join-4-week-fots-study.html Journal http://traffic.libsyn.com/jamekaleapoffaith/Fruit_of_the_Spirit.pdf
