Paradigm

Conflict can be difficult to navigate. Last night Pastor Chad showed us how we can handle conflict with others in a Christ-like way. 1️⃣ Ensure it’s a sin before reacting (95% of the time, let it go).
2️⃣ Take action: Don’t gossip, wallow, or avoid it—go directly to the person (Matthew 18:15).
3️⃣ Approach with clarity: Speak in truth and love.
4️⃣ If needed, widen the circle with a neutral mediator (Matthew 18:16-17).
5️⃣ Lower expectations and choose forgiveness, showing God’s love but protecting your heart. The best way we can learn how to resolve conflict is to do it. This week we challenge you to make amends wherever you may need to
