We all want to be right. It feels safe, validating, and powerful. In moments of conflict—whether with a spouse, a child, or a coworker—being right can feel like winning. But what if the need to be right is actually blocking your growth?
In Be Transformed: New Life Awaits, John Robin Murphy reveals a deeper truth: transformation begins when we surrender our need to control outcomes and embrace truth—even when it’s uncomfortable. The desire to be right often stems from a deeper heart issue: fear of being misunderstood, fear of losing value, or fear of being exposed. These fears drive us to defend, argue, and control, rather than listen, receive, and grow.
The podcast Seeking Truth vs. Being Right explores this tension in everyday relationships, especially in parenting. When we focus on being right, we miss the opportunity to connect. We miss the chance to understand what’s really going on in our child’s heart—or our own. But when we seek truth with humility, we allow God to reveal the deeper story. That’s where healing begins.
Being right may win an argument, but seeking truth wins peace. It invites reconciliation. It opens the door to transformation. And most importantly, it reflects the heart of Christ—who didn’t come to prove He was right, but to reveal the truth in love.
If you find yourself stuck in cycles of conflict, ask yourself: Am I seeking truth, or am I trying to be right? One leads to deeper connection. The other leads to isolation. God invites us to lay down our defenses and let Him do the heart work that brings lasting peace.
