Ministry Mindset in handling conflict feat. John Riley (E5/S3)
Apr 24, 2024 Season 3 Episode 5
Hillcrest CRC Hudsonville

Guest John Riley is back to talk about how to approach conflict with a ministry mindset. This can be done in conflict if on a church security team or in other interpersonal conflicts. Last season he joined us for: De-escalation: gentle response. (E7/S2). John draws from his experience in the military and police force, and blends in Biblical relational principles.

John shared many useful tips in approaching conflict, and challenged us to think of these interactions from God's perspective. What makes you so sure that God did not put you in that place at that time to minister to that person? 

They are still a child of God, even if they may be misinformed or misled or different than you. You will never look into the eyes of someone God does not want.

Are you developing a ministry mindsight, so that when you do encounter another child of God, who may be misinformed or misled, you are at least planting a seed in their life that someone else can water.

Proverbs 15:1 "A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire."

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Do everything in love.."
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 ESV
