Blake Robert Templeton argues that constantly fixing others' mistakes and excusing disrespect as "spiritual warfare" only reinforces harmful patterns. Tolerating toxic behavior is a choice, not an attack, and avoiding conflict under the guise of peace leads to stagnation.
Brother, you need to stop covering for people who keep creating the same problems in their life. Like, you keep fixing their mistakes, re-explaining the same boundaries, letting the same disrespect line slide because they didn't mean it that time. And when it happens again, maybe they call it spiritual warfare, we're being tested, but it's the same pattern, same conversations you already had, same behavior you already addressed, same points. And it's not an attack, It's access. Like, you're tolerating it. You should have cut off the first time. Because confronting it cost you that relationship. So, you stay quiet. Don't want conflict. You call it peace. Then you wonder why nothing changes. God isn't always removing people for you. Sometimes he's showing you what happens when you won't remove them from yourself.
