How you react to others can change the course of events - for the better or the worse.
Join us as we gain wisdom in our discussion about de-escalation with special guest John Riley.
John shares his wisdom from training Church Security teams and others how to have a gentle response, to interact in situations with a "Kingdom mindset."
John 's experience early on was in the military and law enforcement, before launching his current 6 year plus ministry to churches.
In a nutshell, see all people as image bearers of God. If they offend you or seem a risk, the first steps should be:
1) Be nice.
2) Agree to disagree
3) Walk away
If you serve on a security team, as a parent, teacher, etc take this ministry mindset and you will de-escalate potential conflicts -- instead of fanning them, even unintentionally, into flames.
Proverbs 15:1 MSG
"A gentle response defuses anger,
but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire."
