Summary
In this seminar, Nancy will provide both the theoretical framework and the practical skills necessary for facilitating engagement between two deeply conflicted people—a recurring challenge for pastors and ministry leaders. This seminar equips pastors with:
A clear paradigm for understanding how “intractable conflicts” form and why typical interventions fail.
Skills for guiding two hostile or shut-down individuals into constructive engagement.
Pastoral strategies rooted in emotional regulation, reflective listening, and structured mediation.
Pastors will leave with a set of actionable techniques for navigating high-intensity conflict with wisdom, clarity, and confidence.
