Conflict is as unavoidable as traffic in Los Angeles. If you’ve got two people on a team, or in a family, who never argue, one of them isn’t needed.
Jesus, the greatest leader of all time, experienced conflict among his disciples, between the disciples, and himself, and between the religious leaders and political leaders and himself. As long as you’re engaged in relationships there will be conflict. If you refuse to see conflict as an inevitable part of life, you are likely to view it as an unnecessary interruption of the flow–and you may respond to conflict with frustration, anger and intolerance.
