Tony Merida and Christ Centered Conflict Resolution

This is a timely topic because everywhere we turn there is conflict. Friendships and family relationships have become stained because we are not sure what to talk about with one another. And then when we finally bring up a subject that could be in the tiniest way debatable it all goes downhill from there. It doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode you will hear:

• What it means to resolve conflict in a Christ-centered way

• The characteristics of Christian love

• The difference between minor and major conflict. 

Key Points:

• Cravings underlie conflicts.

• It’s crucial to identify the things that are actually causing our conflicts.

• Conflict is an opportunity for growth.

• Love is more than words, it's not sentimentality. It's compassion that always leads to action

• The goal is not just to have the absence of strife with a person, but to have the presence of harmony and unity and to be together.

• We want to overlook things that are not sinful and don’t involve a pattern of neglect or disrespect.
