When You Don’t Match: Personality

In this episode, Chris and Alisa Grace explore why personality differences don’t have to mean incompatibility. From planning versus spontaneity to different preferences for socializing, spending, and keeping things tidy, they discuss how the qualities that first attract us can become sources of frustration. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, they offer practical ways to assume the best, understand each other’s backstory, and approach difficult conversations with humility and grace. Whether you’re navigating differences with a spouse, significant other, roommate, friend, or family member, this episode will help you appreciate how you’re each wired while taking meaningful steps to grow together.
