Don’t Match Their Fire

Bible Hack: When someone comes at you with anger, respond in a way that keeps the conflict from escalating.

Scripture: Proverbs 15:1: “A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”

Explanation: Your tone can either calm conflict or feed it. A gentle response creates room for peace, while harsh words usually push the argument further.

Simple Action: In your next tense conversation, pause for three seconds before you respond and lower your voice.

Your tone can put out a fire your words were about to feed.
