Christian conflict resolution is all about finding Biblical solutions to personal, family, business, and legal disputes. It includes coaching, mediation, and arbitration.

Although there are currently fewer than 200 practicing Certified Christian Conciliators™ providing conflict resolution services, it’s an alternative to litigation that is becoming more sought after by believers who want to find just and Godly solutions to their disagreements.

There are any number of situations in which a Certified Christian Conciliator™ can be of great assistance. Kyle has worked with husbands and wives, parents and children, siblings, family businesses, business associates, employers and employees, churches and schools and even pastors and deacons. In each case he has served individuals who struggled to find common ground in personal and business relationships.

If you have a serious disagreement between two believers, it may be worth exploring the possibility of working with someone trained in Christian conflict resolution.

No. Christian conflict coaching, mediation, and arbitration can be used in virtually any instance where believers disagree with one another. This includes conflict that arises within the context of a church, school, and nonprofit organization. It even applies to disputes between colleagues, business owners and parties to business contracts, transactions and relationships.

The only requirement is that everyone involved must be fully invested in seeking a Biblical resolution to the dispute.

Each session is based upon a written agreement of the parties and  occurs based on agreed upon rules and an agenda.

The parties meet together with Kyle. In each face-to-face session, parties are provided the opportunity to speak, be heard, and to be understood. Then, he will work with everyone present to apply relevant Scripture and reach an agreement that is both just and consistent with God’s word.

Before a Certified Christian Conciliator™ can assist in a conflict, it’s important that all parties be willing to fully participate. You can start the process by explaining what faith-based conflict resolution is or directing the other person to this website.
