Who Should Attend?

Even God’s children frequently view conflict the same way that unbelievers do. However, Scripture teaches a different perspective. Understanding the idols of our heart that spark and fuel conflict will change the way you address conflicts in your own life!

​

In the Fear, Cravings & Misplaced Trust seminar, participants reframe their struggles in conflict with new biblical clarity. Most importantly, they learn how to bring healing through the very personal application of confession and forgiveness.

Benefits

Getting to the Heart of Conflict workshop is a half-day Bible study on understanding how idols of our heart spark and fuel the conflicts in our lives. In this eye-opening presentation, Luther’s explanation of the first commandment is contrasted with three idols of our heart. Instead of fearing God most of all, we fear others or created things. Instead of loving God most of all, we crave the created. Instead of trusting God most of all, we trust ourselves and judge others. And then you will hear how God through Christ forgives all your sin and gives you the strength to overcome the power of your idols.

​

But this seminar is far more impacting than academic wonder! Participants learn to identify their own idols that fueled an actual conflict in their own lives through a carefully guided self-examination exercise. Participants are taught how to announce God’s grace to one another privately, using a tool called “Announcing God’s Grace.” Then, every person has the privilege of meeting one-on-one with a partner for privately confessing sins and announcing God’s forgiveness to one another. Many people report that this half-day seminar changed their lives – for eternity!
