How To Communicate With Unexpected Grace

Building Better Relationships Through DISC Personality Styles

Healthy communication is the heart of every thriving relationship. Whether you are interacting with your spouse, children, coworkers, church family, or friends, how you speak — and how you are heard — can make or break the connection.

As Christian women seeking to walk in truth and love, learning to communicate according to personality style is a powerful way to build stronger, God-honoring relationships.

That is where the DISC personality model becomes a helpful tool.

🧠 What Is DISC?

The DISC model identifies four primary personality styles:

• D – Dominant: Direct, decisive, and driven

• I – Influential: Inspiring, outgoing, and enthusiastic

• S – Steady: Supportive, calm, and loyal

• C – Conscientious: Careful, analytical, and quality-focused

We are each uniquely wired by God, and understanding DISC helps us speak to others in a way that honors their design.

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." — Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)
