Transforming Conflict: Tools for the Toolbox

Presenters: Lydell Steiner, Craig Mast

Conflict abounds in our society, our communities, our churches, and our families. But how do you respond to it? Do you immediately see conflict as negative?

This workshop seeks to provide practical and proven methods for approaching conflict as an opportunity for growth, improvement, and restoration of right relationships. Through stories and familiar scenarios, Lydell Steiner and Craig Mast of Connexus, a nonprofit focused on alternative conflict resolution promotion, will present tools for de-escalation, discernment, and positive relational development.

Participants will leave the workshop with practical tools for thinking about, approaching, and resolving conflict in ways that lead to restored relationships and restored communities.
