On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent podcast, we continue our four-part series on biblical conflict resolution. We'll talk about why conflict is part of everyday life and how Scripture helps us respond with wisdom. We review the first two steps from Ken Sande’s The Peacemaker and then focus on the decision point: when should we overlook an offense, when should we submit, and when should we go and gently restore.We walk through helpful criteria for making that call, like impact, responsibility, frequency, seriousness, and whether the issue is public or private. Then we cover practical, Christlike communication that aims for reconciliation, including listening well, asking clarifying questions, speaking humbly, and choosing the best setting for hard conversations. We also close with a clear warning about gossip and slander, and how to seek wise help without spreading harm. Topics Covered in This Week’s Podcast01:20 Review02:30 Go, overlook, or submit?11:20 Wisdom for when to approach18:13 Go and gently restore39:39 Getting help while avoiding gossipResources From This PodcastBiblical Conflict Resolution Part 1- Introduction and the Call to Glorify GodBiblical Conflict Resolution Part 2- The Call to Get the Log Out of Our Own EyeThe Peacemaker, by Ken SandePursuing Peace, by Dr. Robert Jones
