Let’s talk about how Christian leaders can model, practice and teach the principles of relational wisdom. This is a gospel-based form of emotional intelligence, biblical peacemaking and Christian conciliation. You can do this within your churches in order to get upstream of conflict, promote unity, improve community engagement and evangelism. Most importantly you can enhance your church’s ability to reflect the reconciling power of Jesus and his gospel.
