From holiday parties to gift exchanges, friends 
and family are at the forefront of people’s 
minds this time of year.

2
00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:25,900
That translates to multiple opportunities 
to be offended. Someone may look at you the 
wrong way or you may still be stewing over 
the way someone treated you last year.

00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Whatever it is, you’ll always have reason 
to stay offended. But John Bevere offers 
wise advice regarding this scenario:

00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:45,400
“There is a false sense of self-protection 
in harboring an offense. It keeps you from 
seeing your own character flaws because the 
blame is deferred to another…

5
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:57,200
[as a result,] you see only the faults of 
the offender.” This Christmas, place more 
importance on your relationships than on 
your offense. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is
