Lead four teachings on one of the most practically urgent topics in the series.

⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.

Participants arrive at this workshop carrying real conflicts — some active, some long-standing, some they haven't named yet. The material moves quickly from diagnostic to practical, and the exercises ask for the kind of specific, honest engagement that can surface live tension in the room. Leading it well requires a facilitator who is prepared for the full range of what the material activates. This guide provides that preparation.

What's Inside:

• Full Zoom setup checklist, breakout room guidance, and recommended settings

• 90–120 minute session flow with online-specific timing notes

• Welcome and framing scripts — how to establish the session's core reframe: conflict is not the enemy, patterns are

• Online delivery notes: maintaining engagement across four practically-focused teachings, chat and reactions as real-time feedback tools

• Teaching notes for all four teachings: key objectives, Scripture context, discussion questions, chat prompts

• Guidance on facilitating the Pattern Interruption exercise — how to hold honest pattern recognition without shame spiraling

• Guidance on the Hard Conversation Practice — how to guide participants toward naming avoided conversations without surfacing live conflict between couples in the session

• Exercise facilitation: Option A (breakout rooms) and Option B (solo reflection) for all four exercises

• Difficult moments protocols: a participant in an active and escalating conflict; a couple in visible tension during the session; disclosure of serious relational harm; a participant whose conflict pattern is entrenched and may need more than this session addresses

• Crisis resources and pastoral referral guidance

• Full closing script, ecosystem pathway, and follow-up best practices
