Making Conflict Transformational
The Making Conflict Transformational Resources are carefully designed to give you practical tools for dealing with conflict situations that will increase the likelihood of transformational results in you, others, and in the relationships represented in the conflict. All of the blogs are free along with some of the leadership podcasts (a Personal MinistryLift Membership gives you full access to all of the MinistryLift resources while a Church MinistryLift Membership opens up all of the MinistryLift resources for your entire church).
