    23.0 CONFLICT RESOLUTION FOR WOMEN: AUTHENTICITY, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, & BREAKING CONFLICT PATTERNS

    Last week, we explored what it means to honour the things God honours—including relationships, peace, and reconciliation. But before we can grow in conflict resolution and biblical peacemaking, we must first embrace authenticity. In this episode, we dive into Psalm 51:6, where David declares that God desires truth in our innermost being. Together we'll explore how self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and authenticity create the foundation for lasting growth and healthier relationships. You'll discover: Why authenticity is essential for personal and spiritual growth How self-awareness helps us identify unhealthy conflict patterns The role of emotions in revealing deeper thoughts and beliefs Why we all have relational blind spots  How to recognize your emotional triggers and reactions The connection between emotional intelligence and conflict resolution skills  Why admitting mistakes and taking ownership leads to healing and reconciliation  How God's truth transforms the beliefs beneath our emotional responses We'll also discuss how the upcoming C.A.L.M. Framework course helps women develop greater self-awareness, understand emotional triggers, and build practical communication skills and peacemaking skills rooted in both Scripture and neuroscience. If you're ready to move beyond repeating old patterns and begin growing in healthy communication, relationship skills, and personal development, this episode will help you take the first step. Because AUTHENTICITY leads to AWARENESS, awareness leads to INTENTIONALITY, and intentionality leads to TRANSFORMATION.

    20.0 CONFLICT RESOLUTION AND THE CHURCH (Part1): WHY LEADERS AVOID CONFLICT

    What is God’s heart for conflict resolution in the Church? And why are so many Pastors and Christian leaders avoiding Difficult Conversations in the name of “Unity”? In this powerful episode of PeaceMaking on Purpose, conflict resolution specialist Michelle Pexa is joined by Rene McIntyre, Apostolic Founder and leader of Trumpet of Truth Christian Ministries, for an honest and biblically grounded conversation on leadership and Conflict Resolution in the Church. Together they explore why many pastors and church leaders struggle to address offense, confrontation, and unhealthy behavior with other Christian leaders and within their own churches. From fear of rejection and retaliation to misunderstandings about grace, kindness, and biblical unity, this episode exposes the hidden dangers of conflict avoidance in Christian leadership. Michelle and Rene discuss: Biblical conflict resolution for pastors and church leaders God’s design for unity in the Church Why Avoiding Conflict is not true peace The difference between PeaceKeeping and PeaceMaking Passive-aggressive leadership in ministry Fear of confrontation and rejection in church leadership Why offense itself is not wrong — but staying offended is How unresolved hurt and offense damage the Body of Christ Why true Unity requires Honesty, Truth, and healing conversations Healthy Christian Communication and Reconciliation strategies The Church is called to model the Kingdom of God to the world — not by pretending conflict does not exist, but by learning how to walk through differences in love, truth, Humility, and Restoration. If you are a pastor, ministry leader, church staff member, or Christian seeking healthier relationships and stronger biblical leadership, this episode will challenge and equip you.
