On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent Podcast, we explore the unavoidable reality of conflict in our lives and how to handle it biblically. We're joined by Dr. Robert Jones, author of "Pursuing Peace: A Christian Guide to Our Conflicts," who shares powerful insights about conflict management from a Christian perspective.
We discuss how conflict is inevitable in all relationships - whether in marriage, parenting, or church leadership. As Dr. Jones explains, statistically "one out of one people" deal with conflict, and those numbers multiply when you add spouses and children to the mix. We also examine the transformative concept of "pleasing God" as our ultimate goal in conflict situations. Rather than focusing on winning arguments or changing others, we explore how prioritizing what pleases God can radically change our approach to disagreements.
This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone experiencing conflict in their relationships and provides a biblical framework for seeing conflict not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity for spiritual growth.
