"Life is war. That's not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of this truth. Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief."
-John Piper

Life is war, and conflict can be one of the greatest tools of the enemy. In Matthew 18:15 Jesus explicitly lays out how we should deal with conflict amongst brothers and sisters in Christ. The bible is not always so clear so It stands to reason that God really wanted us to understand this truth. Nothing can ruin the work of the church and communities within our Church as much as gossip and poorly handled conflict. We are to draw near to each other, share one anothers burdens, love one another, care for, forgive, submit, commit, build trust with, be devoted too, and the list goes on.

Fighting with one another is not one of the commands of scripture but it is human nature and the bible is so helpful in teaching us how to deal with it. As a Christian, next to prayer, dealing with conflict biblically may be one of the most important disciplines of the Christian faith. It is certainly the most important thing in building vulnerable and strong gospel centered communities within our churches.

This week Pastor Chad lays out biblical strategies for dealing with conflict. Josh helps by allowing him to use multiple examples from his own life and marriage. Honest, Open and very relevant to any Christian who deals with people on any level in their daily life. This episode will both strengthen your faith and help you foster stronger community wherever you live your christian life.
