From Avoidance to Peace: Janeen Davis on Resolving Field Conflict
About this episode
Dr. Janeen Davis discusses her journey from avoiding conflict to embracing peacemaking through a biblically-grounded model.
Do you avoid conflict, or actually resolve it? Dr. Janeen Davis used to run from hard conversations on the field, until she found "Peace Pursuit," a biblically-grounded model for working through long-standing conflict with teammates. In this episode, she, Amy, and Bernie dig into what it means to address conflict one relationship at a time, starting with God, and how to walk into a peacemaking conversation actually prepared.
