4. Gently
Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit (Galatians 6:1).
The best confrontations result in people knowing they are loved, knowing that the best is desired for them, and knowing that the relationship can be stronger moving forward. That kind of confrontation does not happen without a gentle spirit.
Biblical confrontation results in healthier relationships, our increased sanctification and even greater trust in our relationships. Great leaders run to conflict, not from it, not because they enjoy conflict but because they long for resolution and restoration. They believe in the power and beauty of confrontation that is rooted in grace and gentleness.
