Crazy Makers: How to Keep People From Driving You Crazy

Crazy Makers: How to Keep People From Driving You Crazy

In this practical and humorous message, Pastor James teaches how to deal with the “crazy makers” in your life – the people, places, and things that drive you crazy. Learn why God allows difficult people to build character in you, how to develop patience and trust instead of frustration, and why spiritual maturity is shown in how you respond to those who mistreat you. Discover the power of leaning on God as your rock, adjusting your will to His, and finding peace no matter what craziness surrounds you.

Key Takeaways

• Crazy makers are allowed in your life to build character, especially trust and patience.
• Only you can keep yourself from going crazy, not the people around you.
• Peace comes from deliberately leaning on God as your rock and strength.
• Spiritual maturity is seen in how you treat and respond to those who mistreat you.
• Learn when to speak up and when to stay silent for wisdom in dealing with difficult people.
