Takeaways Conflict is inevitable, but how we handle it makes all the difference. Understanding your values is crucial for effective conflict resolution. Many people avoid conflict due to fear of rejection or misunderstanding. Identifying whether you are a 'turtle' or 'porcupine' can help you understand your conflict style. Conflict is a healthy part of relationships and should be approached with intention.

More from We're Going There with Bianca Juarez
What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we wanted? The Church today needs tools for discipleship that go beyond a Sunday experience so that people can stay the course and live out the transformation that comes from staying with God… even when things don’t work out as planned. What does it mean for us to be present to His presence even when the outcomes are disappointing or heartbreaking?
How can we actually love like God calls us to love? The Church today is straining under the weight of division. Politics, theological disagreements, cultural differences, and deeply felt wounds are real threats and real damage is being done. What should happen when people who genuinely love Jesus and faithfully wrestle with Scripture arrive at different conclusions? In this conversation led by Dr. Anita Phillips, we get real about conviction, humility, and the work of remaining tender toward one another. This is an invitation to cultivate a love strong enough to stretch—reaching for each other rather than running as we trust God with it all.
Drop into a deeply human conversation with Dr. Anita Phillips, Noemi Chavez, Bianca Juarez, and Hosanna Wong– four friends and leaders whose lives, expertise, and perspectives are remarkably different, but whose shared center is Jesus and His Church.
