Faith Based Conflict Resolution, Malibu | November 2026
About the Event
Sacred Bridges: Transforming Conflict Through Faith is a three-day leadership experience designed to equip faith leaders and key stakeholders to navigate conflict with wisdom, courage, and compassion. Rooted in the biblical call to reconciliation, the program guides participants through a transformational journey of Within, Between, and Beyond, beginning with personal self-awareness and spiritual formation, expanding into healthier relationships and courageous conversations, and culminating in faithful leadership that builds bridges across congregations, communities, and the broader world.
