How to Make Prayer Your First Response Rather Than Your Last Resort - Run That Back - Part 4 - Copy

Carrying offense will wear you down. Letting go could be the most freeing thing you’ve done in years. This message is about being unoffendable.

This message is a timely reminder pulled from one of our most talked-about series on relationships—and for good reason.

Whether it’s your marriage, your coworkers, your kids, your small group, or even that neighbor who always “borrows” your parking spot… relationships give us plenty of chances to take offense. But what if you didn’t have to?

In this message, Pastor Stu Hodges offers a practical and powerful mindset shift for anyone tired of walking on relational eggshells, replaying hurtful comments, or building emotional walls. It’s not about changing them—it’s about changing how you carry what they do.

Through humor, Bible truth, and practical steps, you’ll discover how to…

Stay connected to offensive people without becoming offended.

Lower your expectations of others (without becoming cynical).

Raise your response of grace (because grace brings freedom).

Tear down fences that divide your marriage, friendships, and faith.

This isn’t a message about them—it’s about you. And the freedom you could find if you stopped picking up offense.

Watch and learn how to live an un-offendable life.
