Mediation for Families and Elders
Modern families and their elder members face a host of challenges in these days—health care quality and its soaring costs, living arrangements; estate planning, probate, and end-of-life questions; and relationship issues, including caring for elder parents and children at the same time, sibling conflict, and divorce and remarriage.
If any of the above circumstances are causing confusion or conflict in your life, then mediation provides an excellent process to work through your situation…not only to resolve ongoing conflict now, but to strengthen your family ties in the long-run. Solomon’s Way offers fresh hope and lasting help through professional mediation, a powerful tool that has peacefully and even joyfully resolved conflict for thousands of men and women over the years.
Mediation and Training for Churches
Christians can disagree about many things. When we do, however, the experience is often more intense and damaging than with our secular counterparts. The consequences of our disputes can be very painful—destroyed relationships, divided church bodies, and a sadly negative witness to the world.
Christians often deal with conflict in unhelpful ways. Sometimes we deny or avoid conflict out of a misplaced sense of loyalty or thinking that conflict in itself is always bad. Church leaders can be defensive and self-protective, insisting that all problems be worked out behind closed doors or “in house.” But too often, this only leads to further misunderstanding, mistrust, and misery.
It is common for churches to over-spiritualize conflict, insisting that prayer alone or simply thinking the best of one another will make things better. While prayer is crucial, successfully resolving conflict also requires the hard work of self-examination, outside accountability, and a safe environment in which to dialogue with one another.
The mediation services at Solomon’s Way offers a biblical and time-tested process that can help your congregation work through conflict and division, heal and restore broken relationships, and build a lasting culture of honesty and respect in the midst of dynamic ministry.
