Ceasefire! Resolving Inner & Relational Conflict

Conflict is something none of us can escape. We often try avoiding it, numbing ourselves to it, or fighting against it. We blame others for it or just live in denial about it. Conflict can occur in our relationships with others, ourself, and it can even occur in our relationship with God. Most of us have no idea of the range of conflicts we are experiencing, until we pause and allow ourselves to see it.

Conflict can bring about division, and drive us to avoid truth and try to blame others. This leads some to fear, while others use it to feel more powerful. However, when engaged in a helpful way, conflict can lead to healthier ways of living, and can precipitate positive change. It can result in greater openness and authenticity. It can bring about more wholeness and resolution if we navigate it with wisdom.

In this workshop, we explore how we can respond well to conflict. We consider the many types of conflict, map out practical steps to bring resolution, and provide tools to walk healthily through those times when it feels unavoidable. We include sociological, psychological, and Biblical content.

By the end of the workshop you will have the opportunity to:

• Understand the complexities of conflict
• Map out the conflicts that you may be currently facing
• Learn practical steps and tools to find resolution to the conflicts in your life
• Leave with a greater understanding of the reality of the spiritual and emotional factors that can contribute to conflict
• Grow new responses for the situations where conflict proves stubborn
• Glean wisdom in how to help others healthfully navigate conflict in their lives

Everyone is welcome to our workshops. We include a Biblical perspective that can help deepen your relationship with God. 
But if you are not currently in a faith journey, we explicitly encourage you to take up what is most helpful and set aside anything you may not be comfortable with.
