Chad Ford: Conflict—Something to Fear or Embrace?

As human beings we tend to view conflict as something to fear or avoid, but what if we viewed conflict as an opportunity to love? Chad Ford has devoted a large portion of his life to what he calls his “true passion”: peace building and conflict resolution. On this week’s episode, Ford teaches us how our approach to conflict—specifically our willingness to “turn first”—can make all the difference.

“Instead of judging and condemning and fighting and all of the things that we engage in, we would show an increase of love. We would choose love over fear.”
