Can Christians Disagree Better? A Fresh Look at Conflict Resolution
Welcome to this episode of the Daily Bible Refresh with Dr. Brad Miller, where we take a progressive look at 1 Corinthians 6:1-11. In today’s reading, Dr. Miller explores community conflict resolution, emphasizing the power of dialogue over court battles, understanding justice through the lens of love, and recognizing the transformative potential in every individual. With personal stories, practical action steps, and spiritual guidance, listeners are encouraged to approach disagreements with empathy and seek growth, healing, and unity within their community.
Takeaways:
- Resolve conflicts within your community through understanding and dialogue rather than immediately resorting to formal or legal action.
- Justice, according to Dr. Miller and the scriptures, is best served through love, reconciliation, and healing, not just “winning.”
- Everyone has the potential for transformation; where you start does not determine your final place in the community or before God.
- Practicing “holy listening”—pausing to understand others’ pain or fear in conflict—can create more space for genuine resolution.
- Inclusion is emphasized: even those once excluded or flawed can become part of something greater through growth and willingness to change.
