Recorded at the Horizon Texas Conference’s first-ever Clergy Covenant Day, Rev. Daniel Hawkins visits with Hesha Abrams, Esq., an internationally acclaimed mediator, negotiator and author of Holding the Calm: The Secret to Resolving Conflict and Defusing Tension. Hesha brings decades of experience working with diverse groups including faith communities to resolve conflicts and build stronger relationships.
This episode dives into the realities of conflict within the church and how it often stems from deeply personal needs, differing perspectives or change within the community. Hesha shares practical tools tailored to clergy and church leaders, offering actionable strategies to manage difficult conversations with grace, foster understanding and de-escalate tense situations and build long-term relational resilience within congregations.
