Join us on Friday, April 3rd from 4 to 5 PM for another installment of Cambridge House’s Fireside Chat series, as host Emily Gerst leads his discussion entitled “Why do Christians struggle with conflict?”.

Research indicates that Christians are more conflict avoidant than the general American population. But why? Come for discussion about common reasons Christians struggle with conflict and practical wisdom for how Christians can be confident leaders in conflict because of our identity in Christ and the wealth of biblical wisdom that roots and guides us in difficult conversations. Led by Emily Gerst, current director of Conflict Resolution & Education, and former campus ministry staff at Northwestern University.
