Coffee with Kirk: Opposites Attract pt 2

Posted on by

Conflict doesn’t have to divide a ministry team, it can actually make the team stronger. In this second installment of Opposites Attract, Kirk and Jenn explore how different personalities, perspectives, and approaches to conflict can either create division or lead to greater unity. They discuss the importance of trust, assuming positive intent, owning mistakes, and identifying the real problem rather than making people the problem. From avoiding conflict and creating “artificial harmony” to letting conflict become personal, Kirk and Jenn unpack unhealthy patterns and offer practical ways to move toward healthy, mission-focused conflict.

For more than thirty years, Lynae McFarland carried a secret she believed would define her forever. Burdened by shame after two abortions, she spent decades trying to outrun her past, until God began gently calling her home.
