Conflict Resolution for Church Leaders with John Peachey (FAST4 Online Teaching Series)

 John Peachey is a Leadership Coach from The Think Farm:

"People mechanic, broadcaster, writer, presenter, communicator, coach, mate, husband, father, brother. Having made every mistake known to man in business and personal life, I can assure you the limp I walk with is fully earned and so very helpful in helping others avoid the pitfalls of complex and chaotic lives."

We would all like to believe that our church communities are held in place by God. Well, yes and sadly no. The reality is that people don't lose faith in God, they lose faith in people. It is the quality of relationships that determines the depth of attachment. Regardless of what it says on your street sign, business card or web site, if you are pastoring, you are in the people business and people can become 'interesting'. There are times when despite your best efforts, agendas and resentments arise that create painful conflict. So how do we firstly prevent resentments and secondly effectively resolve conflict before it becomes damaging and dangerous? Big questions that deserve big answers.
