Relational Covenants
Relational Covenants
with Molly Shivers
January 23, 2022 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Conflict is a natural, normal, and necessary part of life. When navigated faithfully, conflict can be transformed from a destructive dynamic to a constructive force that produces growth. Relational covenants are powerful tools for transforming conflict because they provide clear expectations to guide human relationships. This session will describe what relational covenants are, why we need them, and how we create them.
