Podcasts about resolving conflict

Happy holidays, everyone!I'm recording this intro a week early because I'm away right now, trying to enjoy a little downtime. Knowing we have an international audience, I hope that wherever you are, you're finding joy in whatever you're doing. And if you're celebrating a holiday, may your celebrations be truly joyful.Of course, the holidays can also bring their share of conflict—often around shopping and family gatherings. Both can feel pretty daunting. Fun fact (or maybe not so fun): there's actually a Black Friday death and injury counter. Thankfully, this past year didn't see much in the way of serious incidents. Still, the point remains—holiday shopping can feel like a full-contact sport, and it's not just tough on your body, but on your mental health too.So, what better time for an episode on conflict resolution?This episode of Experience by Design continues our tradition of featuring Canadian guests—and introduces our first guest named Gary! The name Gary has taken a few knocks lately, so what better way to restore its honor than by bringing Garys together in the service of a good cause?Our guest, Gary Furlong, has had a distinguished career in industrial relations and conflict resolution. He also collaborates with Josh Gordon—who was just on ExD—making this the first time we've had a repeat guest connection. Together, they co-authored The Sports Playbook: Building Teams that Outperform Year after Year. Gary also wrote the seminal text The Conflict Resolution Toolbox: Models and Maps for Analyzing, Diagnosing, and Resolving Conflict.In this conversation, we explore concepts of justice, and why flexibility and consistency both matter—but in different ways. We discuss why process often matters more than outcome, and how sometimes people simply want to be heard, even if they don't get everything they want. Gary explains that conflict is really just the manifestation of competing interests—a natural part of being human. But just because it's inevitable doesn't mean we can't get better at managing it.The key is adopting a problem-solving mindset—and that's where a skilled mediator or conflict coach can make all the difference.So, think of this episode of Experience by Design as our small attempt to create a little peace on Earth and goodwill toward others.Gary Furlong at the Sports Conflict Institute: https://sportsconflict.org/team_member/gary-furlong/Gary Furlong and Agree Inc: https://www.agreeinc.com/gary-furlongGary Furlong on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garytfurlong

Doug's story is one of radical transformation. Born with disabilities that could have limited him, he instead rose to graduate from Dartmouth and thrive as a civil trial lawyer for two decades. But in 2000, he left the courtroom behind to dedicate his life to de-escalation and peace. Today, Doug's work transforms lives in prisons, families, and communities worldwide. In this episode, we explore: Why he walked away from a successful legal career The art and science of de-escalation How conflict, when handled with compassion, can lead to healing 

If you've been married for more than five minutes, chances are you've faced conflict. Sometimes conflicts resolve easily, but other times they can eat away at your heart and mind.What should your heart's response be when your spouse is unreasonable and reconciliation seems impossible? When you're facing serious disagreements with no clear path forward, what are some practical next steps you can take?Today, we're going to look at the conflict between two women in the Philippian church and see how Paul addressed and encouraged them. Although this disagreement was between two sisters in Christ rather than a husband and wife, the parallels are striking and deeply helpful.Listen in as we think through how to navigate those tricky conflicts.

Learn what Jesus said about resolving co flirt from Matthew 5:9

What is the source of conflict between Christians?-The war within (internal): Taking pleasure in what I want vs. what God wants.-Desires (lust): Strong craving for that which we don't have.-Friendship with the world: Adultery against GodWhat is the solution to conflict between Christians?1. Turn to God-Submit to God-Resist the devil (and he will flee)-Draw near to God (and he will draw near)-Cleanse hands/ purify hearts-Grieve our selfishness and jealousy-Approach God with humility (and he will lift you up) 2. Stop Criticizing Others-Trust God as Judge-Start loving others

We face conflict every single day. Here are a few pointers on how to resolve conflict in marriage and other relationships.

Mark and Dr. Joe explore the roots of stress and anxiety—biological, emotional, and societal—and how understanding these reactions can help us reconnect and find calm. The conversation highlights the essential role of local media in building informed, resilient communities, the chemistry behind the body's stress response, and the transformative power of helping others as a way to reduce personal anxiety. Together, they unpack practical tools like the Four Rs—Recognize, Rate, Remember, Reflect—and discuss how community, empathy, and cooperation can guide us toward a healthier, more peaceful world! This episode is an early release of The Dr. Joe Show Takeaways The local media plays a crucial role in providing factual information to the community. Stress and anxiety can significantly impact our perception and interactions with others. Understanding the biological response to stress can help in managing anxiety. The Four Rs (Recognize, Rate, Remember, Reflect) are essential tools for managing anxiety. Community support is vital in overcoming feelings of isolation and anxiety. Helping others can be an effective way to manage one's own stress. The future of conflict resolution may rely on technology and community engagement. Self-reflection is key to understanding and managing anxiety.

This message challenges us to handle disagreements in a way that reflects the fruit of the Spirit and honors God's call to peacemaking. Discover how God can transform even our most difficult conflicts into opportunities for healing and deeper relationships.

In today's episode, I chat with David Hoffman, a lawyer, mediator, and a founding member of Boston Law Collaborative. David was named "Lawyer of the Year" in Boston, and he even teaches at Harvard! I love how he's using IFS to help people with conflict. We talk about how IFS has shifted his focus from getting people to settle, to helping them make Self-led choices. We discuss: How does a lawyer and mediator bring the language of parts into a legal setting? What is the "reasonable reason" behind "unreasonable behavior" in conflict? How can we make decisions from a place of "Self-led" wisdom rather than from our "gladiator parts?" How can simply naming a part change the dynamic of a conversation? David shares an example of how saying "there's a greedy part" shifted a negotiation for the better. How does the IFS model help us understand ambivalence and the "negotiation within" that happens before we even enter a conflict? "There's something we can do here to enable people to manage their conflicts more successfully and to be less fearful and less hateful in the world." —David Hoffman I absolutely loved getting to know David and I'm so glad he's bringing the IFS model to a new audience. He's also offering a new six-week IFS training for lawyers and mediators this fall through the IFS Institute with guest appearances by Dick Schwartz, Mke Elkin, and Fatimah Finney. Episode Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by the Internal Family Systems institute. Join renowned attorney and mediator David Hoffman for a six-week live workshop starting this October.

Do you fight in front of your kids? Well, you should! You may need to redefine what it means to 'fight' with your significant other and some of the rules around what is and isn't within bounds may need to change as well. Nonetheless, much can be learned from a dispute handled the right way. Our kids don't need to be exposed to any and every dispute, but they should witness the way that we handle and resolve conflict. Realizing that disagreement isn't the end of the world is a blessing that they carry into their relationships for years to come!

In this powerful episode of the Grace for the City podcast, Justin dives into the biblical call to resolve misunderstandings through face-to-face communication, addressing the growing issue of cold hearts and selfish ambition in today’s society, as foretold in Matthew 24: 12 and 2 Timothy 3. He highlights how avoiding direct dialogue can escalate conflicts, erode trust, and lead to spiritual disconnection, often fueled by pride, fear, or lawlessness. Drawing from 25 years of ministry experience, Justin shares real-life examples of how digital communication, like texts and emails, can fall short in fostering unity and reconciliation, urging believers to embrace accountability and vulnerability to combat the enemy’s tactics of division.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

John is bringing us a message from 1 Corinthians 6 where we discover the church has developed a problem of taking each other to court, making a public spectacle of Christ before a non-believing world. Paul has a lot to say about how we should resolve conflicts within the church through wisdom, humility, and holiness.

In this special Q&A episode of Exploring A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry dive into the central teaching of the Course—forgiveness—and answer your questions about how to truly live it. What does the Course say about forgiveness? How do we forgive when we're hurting, when others don't change, or when we need to protect ourselves? Together, we explore:  What Course-based forgiveness actually is (vs. conventional forgiveness), Why forgiveness is not spiritual bypassing Boundaries, abuse, and real-world relationships Forgiving without an apology—or even contact What to do with anger, grief, and fear Forgiving groups, the government, the world Forgiveness and codependency What it means to forgive the deceased, and much more We also talk about why Course-based forgiveness isn't just inner work—it's about seeing others as truly innocent and extending love in response. ___________________________ Since 1993, our purpose has been to help with both the theory and practical application of A Course in Miracles. We are the publisher of the Complete and Annotated Edition of the Course (known as the “CE”), which is available as a paperback*, ebook*, and via Audible.

There is conflict in any relationship, and marriage is no exception. But there is good news. Whether your marriage is in SOS mode or is simply “so-so,” these clear and practical instructions will help you speak the truth in love and get your relationship back on the road to success.

We've been quiet the last few weeks, and are working on something special for all of you. While we devote time to generating some new content, we are doing a REWIND of our "Mother MAY I" series from May 2022. The original show notes are below. Hang with us while we cook up some extra good stuff for you!--------------------------------------------Welcome back to "Mother May I" on The Mother Cousins Podcast! For week 2, we welcome Laura Jarrell, who discusses healthy conflict resolution from a Biblical perspective.In this episode:

When we experience conflict with others, we tend to respond by avoiding it, or blowing up in anger. Neither response is healthy. Jesus has called us to pursue peace with everyone, and that means having hard conversations when conflict arises. When do you know if the conflict needs to be addressed? And how do you have the conversation you'd rather avoid? That's what we'll explore in this message as we look at God's Word.

If we want to increase the intimacy and connection in our relationships, it is imperative that we show up as a safe person who creates a safe space. Often, the patterns we have established in our relationships are the opposite of safe, they cause our primitive brains to go into hyper protective mode and want to run away emotionally and physically. But when we can learn to show up safe, time and time again, we can create a space where our spouse may be willing to start engaging in vulnerability, in the openness and honesty necessary to deepen our engagement.

Medium, Amy Jo Ellis, joins Michelle and guest co-host Dr. Linda Christian in the KXFM studio to share a technique her Guide, Abraham, gave to her to assist humanity with conflict resolution at the soul level.  She demonstrates this technique called “The Court of Atonement” as well as many stories of success using it.  Amy Jo used to be a professional musician and Michelle plays one of her beautiful and thought provoking songs, “Life is What You Think It Is”.  This show is very inspiring and we encourage our listeners to check out Amy Jo's web-site and learn more at www.courtofatonement.com Her album “It's about Life” is available here on YouTube.The Court of Atonement is a spiritual healing process that resolves conflicts at the Soul level.  The idea is to ask our Souls to discuss past issues until they understand why things happened.  Once the Soul understands,  it allows forgiveness to take place.  At the conscious level, we are not aware of the change, but things that used to upset us stop triggering us at the cellular level.

She has facilitated dialogues in numerous unofficial diplomatic efforts and was a consultant to the BBC in Northern Ireland, where she co-facilitated a television series, Facing the Truth, with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. She is the author of Dignity: It's Essential Role in Resolving Conflict and Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People*. Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity. In this episode, Donna and I explore how appreciating dignity can help us bring out the best in people. Key Points Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. Dignity is different than respect. Everyone has dignity, but not everyone deserves respect. A major misconception of dignity is that we receive our worth from external sources. We're at our best when connected to our own dignity, connected to the dignity of others, and connected the dignity of something bigger. Start with vulnerability and empathy. These open the doors to connecting with your own dignity and the dignity of others. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity.
