Let’s be honest - managing relationships with unrepentant people is REALLY hard. It might be one of the most difficult things you’ll have to do. And yet, it can be done by seeing this person with a 3D biblical perspective, not a 2D human perspective.
John, Lynn, and Austin explain this distinction and then provide the following practical steps to take in managing an unrepentant person:
- Invite them to change
- Mirror their behaviors
- Implement consequences
- Practice healthy detachment, aka love them from a distance
At the end of the day you need to remember that true repentance takes time, is extremely rare, and is only possible to achieve by God's grace.
