Episode 169: Breaking Up is Hard to Do!

Episode 169: Breaking Up is Hard to Do! Conflict will usually need to end in one of four ways: Compromise Concession Coexistence Coercion   If you pastor long enough, you will deal with this situation...a moment you and someone else or a group of people have to agree to disagree, but there is not enough agreement to keep the parties together.   Example: Paul and Barnabas over John Mark This wasn't a theological issue Conflict of vision and leadership styles We don't know all the outcomes relationally, but it appears that the separation did not end their relationship. That should be our goal   Some questions to ask: Are there other options? Can we compromise, Can I lose this battle? How much are my emotions controlling my thoughts and my conversation? Can I bless the other person? How does my response reflect the character of Christ? Am I leaving a door open for reconciliation?
