Bring Relational Wisdom® Into Your Church
Get upstream of conflict and equip members with relational skills that build unity, prevent conflict, strengthen marriages and enhance their Christian witness.
Daily Relational Challenges
In John 13:34-35, Jesus commanded Christians to love one another as he has loved us. When we live up to this calling, God is honored and people are drawn to Christ. But all too often, our Christian witness is stained with relational tensions and conflict:
- Leadership tensions and divisions
- Elder/staff misalignment or siloed teams
- Doctrinal and cultural controversies
- Small group conflicts and pastoral care overload
- Marriage, family and parenting tensions
- Social media controversies and gossip cycles
- Compassion fatigue and pastoral burnout
- Forced pastoral exits and church splits
Transform Your Church
As you strengthen your congregation’s relational skills, you can build a church that is characterized by unity, wisdom and a compelling witness. Relational wisdom enables you to:
- Build a solidly united and supportive leadership team
- Shepherd members with humility, empathy and wisdom
- Teach members to resolve conflicts personally and privately
- Equip small group leaders as peacemakers and mediators
- Unify elders and staff around shared values and mission

Are your resources accepted in a variety of denominations?
Yes. As these endorsements show, RW360’s resources are respected and recommended across a wide spectrum of Christian leaders and denominations.
Do you have free introductory material our church leaders could review to evaluate your ministry?
Yes. Our Relationally Wise Leader course is available for free online and provides an introduction to relational wisdom, peacemaking and several leadership applications of these concepts. Leaders can deepen these types of skills through our RW Shepherd course.
How could our church or ministry use your resources to train our entire body in relational wisdom and peacemaking?
The best way to launch organization-wide training is to host a live kick-off seminar that introduces your entire body to the benefits of improving their relational skills. With or without this introduction, you can use our small group study sets for Sunday school or small group studies. Alternatively, you could simply encourage your people to take advantage of RW360’s online courses, which members can pursue at their convenience.
How can RW360's resources be used for community outreach, evangelism and church growthj?
As this pastor’s remarkable testimony sows, you can train members of your church to use our PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) resources to make presentations in businesses, schools, college campuses, hospitals, police departments and other secular venues throughout your community.
Can we reduce some of the shepherding load on our elders by training a team of people in our church to help others learn and practice these concepts?
By all means! That is exactly what Moses did when he wanted to reduce his peacemaking work load. Click here to see how you can develop a Peace Sower Team in your church.
