About this episode

This episode discusses how Christians should respond to conflict while staying anchored in their faith and reflecting Christ's teachings.

In Part 2 of the two-part series on understanding and managing conflict as a Christian warrior, the focus turns to the responsibility that comes with it. Understanding the context of conflict matters and so does how you choose to engage it. This conversation walks through what that looks like in real life—knowing the Word, responding instead of reacting, and recognizing when to engage and when to step away. It also brings it back to how you see people, not as the opposition, but as those who may be lost and in need of the Truth.
