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?
