Conflict: Crisis or Opportunity?


Click for Audio 

Most of us tend to treat conflict as a crisis. We focus on the dangers that it poses to us and our relationships with others.  We feel the tension of trying to get what we want while someone is blocking our way, or we struggle to stand up for ourselves and what we think is best when someone else is trying to get their own way!
What if instead of seeing conflict as a crisis and a struggle we instead saw it as an opportunity?  Conflict provides us with some unique ways that we can glorify God, grow to be more like Him, help others do the same and finally, to find new ways of working and living together in unity of spirit and purpose.
