Do you desire a better way to navigate conflict? Do you desire to have peace-filled relationships? This workshop will provide foundational skills to help you develop a conversational approach to peacemaking in your own life.
Learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy tension and its effect on relationships. Discover stories, fears, and hopes to stretch your perspective. Remember core values and apply them to the situation. Reflect and take responsibility. Connect through confession, forgiveness, and a variety of plans. But… what if the conversation does not go well? What then? Learn practical steps to take in conflict after you tried to walk the Path of a Peacemaker, and it didn’t go very well.
Join us as we discover a better way to navigate conflict.
