Navigating Conflict with Biblical Wisdom

Finding Peace, Speaking Truth, and Growing Through Tension

Conflict is unavoidable—but it doesn’t have to be unredeemable.

In Navigating Conflict with Biblical Wisdom, pastor and prison chaplain Geoffrey Schmitt offers a compassionate and practical guide for handling life’s most difficult conversations and relationships. Drawing from decades of ministry, biblical insights, and real-life stories—including moving experiences from Kairos Prison Ministry—this book equips readers to approach conflict not with fear or aggression, but with faith, courage, and grace.

Each chapter explores a different dimension of conflict—from listening well and speaking truth in love, to forgiving deep wounds and facing internal battles. Whether you’re dealing with tension in your family, church, workplace, or even within yourself, this book offers wisdom grounded in Scripture and lived experience.

You’ll discover:

• Why avoiding conflict often makes it worse
• How to become a better listener and communicator
• The healing power of forgiveness
• How to manage generational or political divides
• Why you can be both truthful and kind
• How to become a peacemaker in a divided world

Perfect for small groups, personal growth, or church leadership teams, Navigating Conflict with Biblical Wisdom offers not just answers—but a path to deeper maturity, reconciliation, and spiritual transformation.
