Thank you for seeking our help with a conflict. We pray that God will do great things in your life as you seek to respond to this conflict in a way that pleases and honors him.
Please follow the links in the questions below that best apply to your situation.
I'm in a conflict. What should I do?
If you are reading this page, you most likely have a sincere desire to do the right thing in response to your conflict situation. Determining the right course of action, however, may present as many challenges as finding one's way through the woods on a moonless night. For this reason, we encourage you to start the journey by seeking a lamp to light the way. Psalm 119:105 reminds us that God's Word is a lamp to our feet and a light for our path. Instead of telling you what to do, we assist Christians and their churches to respond to conflict biblically by helping people identify and apply relevant biblical principles. The good news is that, because God is in control, it is possible to view conflict as an opportunity to glorify God, serve others, and grow to be more like Christ.
