Identify The Type Before Engaging
- You must first determine whether the person who harmed you is a garden-variety sinner, wicked, or evil before deciding how to engage them.
- Adam Young argues each category requires a different relational strategy modeled in Jesus' interactions.
Be Shrewd And Innocent Together
- Be "as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves" when engaging others by combining discernment with innocence.
- Use sharp judgment to protect yourself while maintaining moral integrity in relationships.
Mismatch Causes Harm
- Engaging a wicked person like a normal sinner leads to frustration and stagnation in the relationship.
- At worst, it can lead to emotional or actual harm when you offer vulnerability to someone dangerous.
