In this episode we talk with Jane Gibb, an experienced life and conflict coach, about the many aspects of personal conflict, especially within marriages and families, and how it can help us grow. We had an insightful, practical and wide-ranging conversation about:

- What is conflict?
- Should Christians expect conflict?
- What are the different ways people naturally respond to conflict and why?
- Where do we experience conflict in our families?
- What steps can we take to work through personal conflict in a healthy way?
- What are some principles for managing conflict in our marriages?
- How can we teach our children to manage conflict well?
