Early Action

Pastor Bill Bush · Jun 12, 2023

Drawing from Proverbs 17:14 and Ephesians 4, Pastor Bill argues that conflict is like water pressure behind a dam: manageable when addressed early, catastrophic when ignored until it bursts. Using the metaphor of a controlled release versus a flood, he lays out six practical principles — say it, say it straight, say it soon, say it all, say it supportively, and say it selflessly — to help people pursue resolution in every relationship before conflict escalates into an all-out fight where people stop attacking the problem and start attacking each other.
