Conflict Resolution

Everyone wants to be a part of a family - to belong somewhere and be unconditionally accepted. Organizations, corporations, and brands recognize this and try to capitalize on it by identifying as a family. However, what no one tends to mention are the inevitable conflicts and quarrels that come with being a part of a family!

The church truly is a family, meaning that there is something powerful that unites us, but also resulting conflict that comes from being intimate and imperfect. Increasingly, culture has no framework or resources for addressing conflict in a constructive and healthy way, but in Philippians 4, Paul explains how the gospel is meant to provide the power to address and deal with conflict.
