Conflict. You either stir it up or avoid it. But few of us know how to move through it well. What if we told you that conflict is a necessary ingredient for healthy relationships?
Jeff and Terra Mattson interview Jay Payleitner with a focus on his most recent book, “Don’t Take the Bait to Escalate: Conflict is Inevitable. Being a Jerk is Optional.” Jay unpacks four factors anyone can use to help de-escalate a conflict. From marriage to work relationships, this conversation applies to everyday issues. From which peanut butter to buy, to bigger challenges, like when it’s time to walk away from a toxic relationship, Jay uses biblical clarity and forty decades of marriage and relationship ministry to offer us a reframe on how conflict plays an important role in our lives.
Jay Payleitner is one of the top freelance producers for Christian radio and a long-time affiliate of the National Center for Fathering and Iron Sharpens Iron. He is also a prolific speaker and author who has sold more than half a million books.
