Holly Furtick delivers a brief spoken teaching addressing today’s tendency to take offense over minor slights (being late, not invited, ignored). She argues that offense often comes from assuming the worst about others’ intentions and urges listeners to instead "assume the best," citing Proverbs 19:11 to recommend patience and overlooking offenses.

Chapters

The offended generation of human beings that ever existed on this planet. If someone expresses an opinion that we don't agree with, we're offended. If someone's late, we're offended. If someone doesn't speak to us, we get offended. If someone doesn't invite us, we're offended. Our feelings are hurt. Offense begins when we assume the worst about someone's intentions towards us. They don't respect my time. They don't listen to me. They don't. They're trying to make me mad. They know I don't agree, and they're saying it anyway. But what if. What if you assumed the best? There's a verse in Proverbs that says, this is Proverbs 19:11. A person's wisdom yields patience. It is to one's glory to overlook an offense. What if, instead of jumping to conclusions about someone's intentions, we saw past their behavior and assumed the best about them?
