How you react to others can change the course of events - for the better or the worse.Join us as we gain wisdom in our discussion about de-escalation with special guest John Riley.John shares his wisdom from training Church Security teams and others how to have a gentle response, to interact in situations with a "Kingdom mindset."John 's experience early on was in the military and law enforcement, before launching his current 6 year plus ministry to churches.In a nutshell, see all people as image bearers of God. If they offend you or seem a risk, the first steps should be: 1) Be nice. 2) Agree to disagree 3) Walk awayIf you serve on a security team, as a parent, teacher, etc take this ministry mindset and you will de-escalate potential conflicts -- instead of fanning them, even unintentionally, into flames.Proverbs 15:1 MSG "A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire."Learn more about John's approach and resources at his website:https://gentle-response.com/"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Do everything in love.."1 Corinthians 16:13-14 ESV
