This month, we want to talk with you and the leaders of your children’s ministry team about some healthy ways to navigate an issue that we all have to deal with at some point or another: conflict. Sure, we all wish we lived in a world without conflict, but that’s just not reality in our fallen and broken world. We are inevitably going to face conflict in our jobs, at our churches, within our relationships, on our teams, and even in our own homes. We can try to run from conflict, dodge conflict, or just ignore conflict altogether and hope it goes away. These are the approaches that many people often take, yet none of them are healthy, nor do they prevent conflict from taking place. We all need to learn how to lean in and have helpful, healthy conversations that will lead us to the stronger relationships we desire. At times, we might even need to reframe our thoughts as we deal with difficult situations and people and approach conflicts and conversations in different ways.
In this month’s Coaching Video, we’ll share a few strategies for navigating the inevitable conflicts we all encounter in life and equip you with a few practical principles to help you manage and resolve conflicts in healthy ways. We will also teach you some principles that we can all embrace as we seek to navigate conflict and that you can use to help the parents in your church develop healthy patterns as they lead their own kids at home. Our hope is that you and your team will learn to recognize and equip parents with the knowledge that conflict, when approached with the right mindset, can be a catalyst for growth and deeper understanding. If we can all learn how to talk to each other in ways that bring healing and unity, then we can better handle the conflicts we face and build stronger relationships with those we care about.
