Conflict is inevitable—even in the Body of Christ. The ones we love the most can hurt us the deepest, but Jesus understands that pain better than anyone. He was betrayed, abandoned, and crucified, yet His response was, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

When believers sin against us, how should we respond? Matthew 18:15-16 gives us a clear process for handling conflict with love, humility, and a goal of restoration. Winning an argument isn't the goal—winning people back to Jesus and relationship is.

In this message, we explore:

The importance of going directly to the person first (Matthew 18:15)
How to seek reconciliation while guarding against bitterness
The role of love in covering a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8)
Trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us in each unique situation
We are called to live in peace, clothed in mercy, kindness, humility, and patience (Colossians 3:12-15). Let’s ask the Lord for the supernatural grace to forgive, forget, and bring healing where it's needed.

The Hidden Power of Conflict: How to Transform Tension into Growth and Deeper Bonds

A sermon about "fear" in a sermon series about managing emotions. 

Fear | Proverbs 29:25 | Managing Emotions | Reggie Lamityi | (06.07.25)

[Verse 1]
How'd you get so angry
We used to agree
Can you take me back there
We can find a common ground
And then we can be

[Chorus]
Mmm
Mmm
Mm
Mm
We can find a common ground
And then we can be

[Verse 2]
The louder you speak
The less I believe
Take me back to when we
We were closer than now
We can be
We can find a common ground

[Chorus]
Mmm
Mmm
Mm
Mm
We can find a common ground
And then we can be

Common Ground

Is lasting peace finally within reach in the South Caucasus—or is the latest deal just another geopolitical powerplay?

In this episode of Language of Power, we unpack the US-brokered peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, signed at the White House on 8 August, and explore what it means for the region and the wider world.

Host Paul Taylor is joined by Matthew Bryza, former US Ambassador to Azerbaijan, and Viktorya Muradyan, Brussels-based public affairs consultant and former co-editor-in-chief of The European Correspondent. Together, they explore why President Trump succeeded where the EU faltered, and what’s at stake for Washington, Moscow, and Tehran.

We examine Armenia’s pivot away from Russia, Azerbaijan’s growing leverage despite its authoritarian record, and the prospects for regional transformation. Can Armenia’s government survive the fallout of losing Karabakh? Is EU membership a credible alternative? And how might Russia and Iran respond to losing influence in their own backyard?

Fifty balloons. Stories of cupcakes. A student shouting profanities before storming out. These are the moments teacher prep programs can’t prepare you for. Dr. Adam Wolfsdorf joins us to discuss "subversive moments"—when classroom control completely evaporates and you have to make split-second decisions while somehow pretending you're not destabilized. Learn why disruptions can be opportunities, how to de-escalate without taking it personally, and why the most flexible teachers create the most expansive learning spaces for students. Based on his book Teaching in the Riptide: Anchoring Pedagogies for Soulful Practitioners.

When Disruption Becomes Opportunity: Embracing Powershifts in the Classroom

Mantz and Mitchell talk about the art and science of conflict resolution with Deidre Combs, who has been all about this for a very long time.

Mantz & Mitchell - 11-01-25 - The Art and Science of Conflict Resolution

We all know the feeling — a conversation turns sour, and suddenly the people we care about most become the ones we hurt the deepest. In this episode, I explore why conflict feels so personal, how our language often fuels misunderstanding and what it really takes to restore connection.

Drawing on ideas from Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, I look at the tension between being right and being understood and how reframing our communication can turn arguments into opportunities for empathy, truth and growth.

Whether it’s a partner, a colleague or a friend, this episode invites you to pause, listen differently and discover what’s really alive beneath the words.

SoulSearching is a series of audacious conversations that challenge the way the world taught us to think because every answer opens a door to a deeper question.
