You can’t avoid conflict, but you can honor God through it.

Conflict reveals character. Instead of reacting with anger, believers are called to respond with humility, patience, and grace. The goal isn’t to win an argument — it’s to preserve unity and reflect Christ.

Series description:

Life would be easier if people were perfect — but God designed us to grow through relationships, not apart from them.

How to Human is a four-week Bible study about learning to love people the way God does — through connection, grace, forgiveness, friendship, and hospitality.

Each week takes a practical and biblical look at how to handle real-life relationships in a world full of imperfect people. Whether you’ve been hurt, frustrated, or just trying to be a better friend, this series helps believers rediscover God’s heart for human connection.
