01/09/2024 | 80+ hours | Coaching | Church/School | No | This is not a single coaching case, but I will include here many ongoing informal coaching cases that I have among Hutterite people, where my husband and I have been working as missionaries for the last 15 years. I am in regular contact with Hutterite women, who often share their struggles with me. Their life is especially challenging because when they marry, they move to their husband’s community, where they have to adjust to a different way of life and a new set of rules. There is a strict hierarchy among the group, and tensions among the women arise frequently, since they have to work very closely together in the community kitchen and garden. Most of their relationship issues circle around being judged by others and being oppressed by individuals or by the group. There is no teaching on how to communicate openly and honestly with each other, so there is a lot of distrust and envy and gossip among them. This often leads to anger and the forming of cliques, which divides the group even further. I have been teaching conflict resolution in many colonies now, and slowly, people are catching on to the peacemaking principles (even the men!). Hutterites do not hear the gospel preached in church, but we see more and more people being transformed by God’s Word, and I feel that the Lord has given me the ministry of Biblical peacemaking to help the Hutterite people better understand and live out the Gospel. |
01/09/2024 | 6 | Coaching | Other | Yes | Small women's study group were in conflict. I coached various members while I was conducting a peacemaker training for them. We had a resolution by the end of the training. |
01/09/2024 | 35 | Coaching | Marriage/Family | No | This is an ongoing case where I have been coaching two brothers with the goal of mediating their offenses that developed during their childhood. Part of the problem is that the one brother feels that he was neglected by their mother, who favored the other brother over him. He is struggling with a lot of anger and bitterness towards his brother but is realizing now that he can’t have peace or move on with his life, unless he forgives his brother and also his mother, who is deceased. The other brother has acknowledged that his arrogant attitude towards his older brother has been part of the problem and has taken the first step and apologized to him for his behavior and hurtful words. I am hoping that there will be a mediation soon to address all the remaining issues. |
01/06/2024 | 75 | Mediation | Marriage/Family | No | 4 parties, mom/dad of son, a pastor, and wife. Broken relationships even though a close family. The parties developed a plan to relate to one another including seeing the grandkids. |
01/05/2024 | 16 | Arbitration | Marriage/Family | No | a test case |
01/05/2024 | 2.5 | Mediation | Marriage/Family | No | Custody Case for Montgomery County Court, PA |
01/04/2024 | 85 | Mediation | Marriage/Family | No | The conflict started between a sister and brother-in-law, who had a falling out. Later, the whole family was affected by the conflict, mainly due to miscommunications and unfulfilled expectations. The first meeting involved the parents, their daughter, and son-in-law. They had open and honest conversations and all four parties reconciled with each other. The second meeting was only partially successful because the other daughter was not willing to reconcile with her brother-in-law. Therefore, the parties were only partially satisfied with the result. |
01/04/2024 | 25+ | Arbitration | Other | No | BE Arbitration. Award expected February 2024 as this is an ongoing case. |
01/03/2024 | 30.5 | Mediation | Business | Yes | This mediation was assigned to me by AofR as the parties requested me as conciliator. It was an employment dispute between the owner and two employees who left the company and were alleged to have taken customers and trade secrets with them. It was complicated by federal litigation with a discovery deadline and trial date within a month of my assignment. After 6 sessions of conflict coaching and an all day mediation the parties got close but were not able to reach an agreement. The litigation will proceed and they may return for further help. |
01/03/2024 | 108 | Arbitration | Church/School | No | Actually conducted investigation - initially thought short investigation and any potential reconciliation. However, the investigation showed indications of patterned pastoral sexual and power abuse.

12/30/2023 | 30 | Coaching | Marriage/Family | No | RJT Husband is emotionally abusive to his wife and his children. The more I listen to him, the more I see him as embodying the ksil, one of the fools in Proverbs. He is so prone to aggressive, out-of-control criticism! He believes he is being mistreated and disrespected, so he lashes out and makes demands. We see him making some changes some of the time, but are not confident that he will repent in a long-term way. His wife is benefiting greatly from Susie's coaching. |

More recently J's parents have entered into a precarious stage: Mom has MS and falls; Dad is not able to support her physically and they both want to continue snow birding from NJ to FL.

Her engagement with boss in desire to continue in new role built sound employment relationship. |

They attended a Christian conciliation mediation process, but did not complete it due to his wife's refusal to come to agreement on an ongoing schedule for their children and to discuss final resolution of finances. We have walked trough getting the children into therapy and the vagaries of his wife's stonewalling and seeming disinterest in concluding the case (she already views them as 'not married').

He had previously worked with me to resolve loss of his father and his wife's disenchantment with being a pastor's wife. She is now fully supportive. We looked at his communication style and sought resolution through Conflict to Peace (which his elders did not accept). Eventually the church polity refused the elder's efforts to dismiss BL as their pastor and reinforced their need to seek to resolve and make peace.

She also made false allegations of abuse (also repeated in her past placements). We have focused on grief, recovery and prayer for this lost soul who does claim Jesus as her savior. Having overcome these trials the couple is now considering another adoption or trying for another natural-born child (AM had near fatal eclampsia with their first child). They continue to hold strong together in their faith and CM has entered seminary, wondering what God has for him in the future. It is a privilege to walk with them. |

She is making good progress in separating issues from people and relying on God's grace for the tense moments. |

Church staff had handled (poorly) a situation with a church family and their teens who were in youth group and reported to the youth leader a situation requiring mandatory reporting. She did not handle it well, mother of the teens is quite a handful and was upset with leader's delay - reported to District Attorney and charges eventually were filed. Church told family to leave church -- sees it as something the family caused, etc. Plus waited 2 years before coming to me - negative gossip was upsetting them. I was able to interview the mother at the end of interviewing all other involved staff - my report delivered in Feb. 2024 and am still working with them. The Lord is at work -- the V. board has expressed much appreciation and I have great cooperation from the V. staff. Believe we will have a full mediation in a few months. |

We are meeting every two weeks to work through the issues that they have on their list. With each meeting that passes, I am passing more and more of the ownership of the conversation back to them to drive the conversation.

Professing Christians, but not applying faith to actual personal lives. Challenges with adapting to sharing life, having gotten to know each other in a bubble, perspectives on one another mental health, life stressors - death of parent, taking over family business, etc.
Help them to consider one another's interests, consider the unselfishness that love, marriage, and parenting give opportunity to be demonstrated. How does the Gospel really apply in their lives. While not expecting them to live at great risk, it is also about what God wants and what is good for another. They embrace those truths - eventually as well as decided to practice their faith, praying, and finding a church they would attend faithfully and see as community. |

10/19/2024 | 10 | Coaching | AoR Central Regional Reception |
09/20/2024 | 1 | Mediation | The Power of Words, Adrienne Elwell, workshop: how to de-escalate conflict by: Showing empathy, Taking ownership (ex. I statements), Constructive suggestions: proposing solutions instead of highlighting problems, Active listening: repeating back what was said to show understanding (so what I hear you saying is...), Encouraging this communication at the beginning of a meditation session. What increases conflict is blaming, generalizations, and aggression, as well as sarcasm - which undermines trust and inflames emotions. These words cause defensiveness, making resolution more difficult. Parties may use sarcams to shield oneself, hoping it won't be taken as an attack, but it can go too far quickly.
|
09/17/2024 | 1.5 | Mediation | How the Brain Does Forgiveness, Part 1 -- The Unforgiveness Trap was presented by Michael snuffer as a workshop at the Forum: Equipping Reconcilers Conference. |
09/13/2024 | 1 | Mediation | Abuse and Power, Laurie Stewart: she summarized what spiritual abuse looks like, citing the Bully Pulpit by M. Kruger. She challenged churches that have such high value on leaders having expertise and charisma and having many skills. What about humility and honesty, and accountability? She pointed out how the conflict in culture is permeating the church, asking how can leaders become seduced by power because of a lack of these values. |

Laurie described responding to everyone with the Gospel in mind for each person involved. |
09/13/2024 | 1.5 | Mediation | Anger workshop by Patrick Drury: This workshop presenter focused much time on what God's word actually say about anger, encouraging conciliators to give this word study as homework. On a piece of paper, he recommends separating out verses on 3 categories: God's anger, Jesus' anger, and man's anger. Several illustrations he uses to help men in particular understand how they may be using anger are:
*Warning light on the dashboard - it's evidence of a problem. He's felt invalidated or didn't get what he wanted (James 4); Father wound he's compensating for; It's a smokescreen for sometime else going on.
*Hammer - we need more delicate tools relationally; anger's just hurting people
*Ground them using an exercise - have them feel something where they know the weight of their bodies. |
09/12/2024 | 1 | Coaching | Nurturing Peace and Joy, Susan Millsaps: Susan pointed out what difference it makes focusing on the Lord (Ps. 73) even in very challenging circumstances. She recommended that we take 5-10 min three times each day to focus on joy. Each of these times has 3 steps, starting with greeting, showing awareness of His presence. We notice God's goodness and wonders out loud: what makes you smile or stirs curiosity? Wonder - become curious, ponder, adore. Secondly, we listen to Him through His Word, reading out loud. Thirdly, we respond by praying, adoring Him as worthy out loud. |
08/15/2024 | 5 | Mediation | Bully Pulpit: Confronting the Problem of Spiritual Abuse in the Church. Listened to the audiobook, as recommended by Patrick Drury.

01/09/2024 | 150+ hours | Coaching | One of the main learning tools for me to become a better conciliator has been to teach Biblical Conflict Resolution to others. I have been teaching seminars on this subject to church and mission settings around the world for over 15 years now, including at least 10 times in the last year. This has helped me greatly to being able to readily apply the Biblical principles of peacemaking during conflict coaching and mediation sessions. Not only that, but the teaching has also opened up many opportunities for me to minister to other people, whether it be through formal or informal conflict coaching.
I would therefore like to suggest again to include the teaching of Biblical peacemaking as a continuing education activity. Would it be possible to add a section in the form where this could be noted? Thanks! |
