Conflict is never easy. Whether it’s between spouses, a parent and child, co-workers, friends, or between a boss and their employee conflict can add some of the greatest stress to your life that you may ever experience. Jesus gives us some great direction about what to do when we’re angry or hurt by someone:

“If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him—work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you’ve made a friend. If he won’t listen, take one or two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again. If he still won’t listen, tell the church. If he won’t listen to the church, you’ll have to start over from scratch, confront him with the need for repentance, and offer again God’s forgiving love.” – Matthew 18:15-17 (Msg)

At work conflict can get even messier. My leader recently put together a great plan for how to navigate conflict between co-workers and when there is conflict between a boss and someone they lead. Click on the link below if you would like to take a look at our conflict management policy:
