We all have conflict in our life and we all respond to it differently.

There are a lot of people who want to avoid conflict and will do anything to get it resolved or set it aside. However, when you don't address conflict the way that you should it actually magnifies the conflict and makes it worse.

In today's episode we're going to discuss why you should address conflict and how you can view it differently so that you'll want to make sure that it gets resolved. You will invariably encourage what you tolerate. It can feel like an inconvenience or time consuming to address conflict appropriately but in all cases, when you push it off or avoid addressing conflict, then the situation will always get worse.

Addressing conflict is so imporant because overcoming these obstacles are key to becoming the person that you need to become. God has put everything in place for you to succeed in your life purpose. The purpose of life is not just trying to survive but to live a life that brings glory to his kingdom and is attractively different.

Key Takeaways:

• When you don't address conflict you're teaching people how to treat you. When you want to be treated differently then you have to start teaching people differently.


• Just like indicator lights in your car …conflicts are simply indicators that something needs to be addressed.


• We think avoiding conflict will help not feel negative feelings that come with it, but it still feels awful to hold the resentment, bitterness, and annoyance that builds when conflict is not addressed.


• You want things to change … but should anything really be different if you've trained a person to respond in a certain way?
