In this first segment of a two-part series, hosts Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock explore the first two of seven evidence-based approaches to resolving disagreements and strengthening relationships among church members. Learn how reframing your perspective and honest self-examination can transform conflict into a powerful platform for gospel impact. Two Key Conflict Resolution Strategies View Conflict Differently — Stop avoiding disagreement. Instead, see conflict as an opportunity to display the gospel's power to your congregation and community. The early church’s resolution of the Greek-Jewish widow conflict in Acts 6 served as a platform that attracted priests and ultimately sparked the missionary movement. Examine Yourself — Before blaming others, honestly assess your own role in the conflict.
