7 steps for resolving conflict

Continuing our previous discussion on conflict, we outline a step-by-step process you can use to deal with tough conversations…

By the way, BEFORE we go there…

Many people ask, “Should I go to them, or should I wait for them to come to me?”

Some even suggest, “It’s their fault— I’m not budging. They need to come apologize.”

We get it. However, let’s look at how Jesus framed relational rifts.

He said, “If your brother offends you, go to him” (Matthew 18:15f.).

He also said, “If you’re about to offer your gift at the altar [read: worship] and remember your brother has something against you, leave your gift and first be reconciled to your brother” (see Matthew 5:23-24).

In other words, Jesus encourages us to ALWAYS INITIATE relational healing rather than waiting.

If it’s their fault, you initiate.

If it’s your fault, you initiate.

How do you do it?

What do you say?

In this episode, we walk through it…
