Racial Relations - For many of these workshops we have partnered with We Are Threaded that seeks to bring together people from different perspectives to converse and learn about racial relations. This topic is center stage in our world. What does the Bible say about racial relations? How are we to understand another race’s perspective? How do we have conversations that honor God and learn from one another? These workshops will answer these questions and more.
International - For many of these workshops we partnered with ALARM-Africa to present these workshops. ALARM's workshops are presented by a local ALARM organization in different countries. ALARM works in the context of their country’s concerns and people to apply biblical principals of forgiveness, understanding and peace in the communities they live in. These workshops teach what ALARM and others have done in their particular context though the principles can be applied universally.
Advanced - These workshops aim to equip those who are already reconcilers in their churches or professional settings by addressing common issues that reconcilers face. Experienced presenters will bring their expertise and case studies to real-life situations that happen in conflict resolution.
Introduction - These workshops aim to address broader issues of conflict resolution, sin issues that contribute to conflict, introductory teaching on reconciliation and personal peacemaking, teaching reconciliation to the next generation and more. Whether you are new to being an ambassador of reconciliation or a seasoned veteran these workshops will help you to live out a lifestyle of reconciliation in your home, church, work and community.
Foundational - These workshops are geared toward reconcilers who have completed the foundational reconciler training (Coaching People to Reconcile and Mediating People through Conflict) to further equip them for their service as reconcilers.

People often come into a mediation with suspicion, frustration, and an agenda. The mediator can easily become a target of that suspicion and frustration if they do not carefully navigate the tumultuous waters of the conflict set before them. In this workshop we will consider some important principles of how we can avoid becoming a third party to the conflict we are mediating by drawing on wisdom from the Proverbs.

People experiencing conflict in relationships can benefit from working with “Case Studies” that deepen their understanding of peacemaking principles by applying them to scenarios similar to their own conflict. Applying the principles to characters in the case study provides a bridge to being able to apply those same principles to themselves. We will discuss several ideas for such case studies and the workshop formats that can assist parties in deepening their understanding of heart idolatry, confession, repentance, and forgiveness. You will come away with new tools in your reconciliation toolkit!

When you are offended or disappointed by others, bitterness and resentment may germinate in your heart. Satan thrives on unforgiveness in a bitter, sour Christian. Learn to recognize when bitterness begins to take root in your heart. Then, rejoice in the victory that is yours in Christ over this destructive passion. This workshop is available as a Bible study from AoR’s bookstore and coordinates with the bookmark by the same name.

Why do some Christian leaders in conflict respond with humility and grace while others hold fast to pride and denial? How does a conciliator lead a party in the path of spiritual brokenness? This presentation applies Gary's extensive research on the theology and process to encourage the type of spiritual brokenness that leads to deep reconciliation.
