From Avoidance to Peace: Janeen Davis on Resolving Field Conflict

<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Do you avoid conflict, or actually resolve it? Dr. Janeen Davis used to run from hard conversations on the field, until she found "Peace Pursuit," a biblically-grounded model for working through long-standing conflict with teammates. In this episode, she, Amy, and Bernie dig into what it means to address conflict one relationship at a time, starting with God, and how to walk into a peacemaking conversation actually prepared. This is a great episode to listen to before you need it and one that offers hope if you’re in the middle of a team conflict.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Articles and Resources</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">🕊️ </span><a href="https://globaltrellis.com/healthy-disagreements-with-cross-cultural-teams/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><strong>Healthy Disagreements on Cross-Cultural Teams</strong></a><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">— uses Erin Meyer's Culture Map framework to map out emotional expression and directness styles in conflict</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">🧩</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </strong><a href="https://globaltrellis.com/conflict-management-on-the-field/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><strong>Conflict Management on the Field</strong></a><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">— walks through six conflict management options</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">🧹</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </strong><a href="https://globaltrellis.com/enlarging-capacity-by-evicting-the-squatters-in-your-head/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><strong>Enlarging Capacity by Evicting the Squatters In Your Head</strong></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> — on releasing relational grudges that drain emotional capacity</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">👂</span><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </strong><a href="https://globaltrellis.com/shop/a-mediators-guide-to-listening/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><strong>A Mediator's Guide to Listening</strong></a><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </strong><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(workshop) — five key ways to listen when you're pulled in to mediate a conflict</span></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">🤝 Peace Pursuit website: </span><a href="https://peacepersuit.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><strong>https://peacepersuit.org/</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Podcast</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">🎧 </span><a href="https://globaltrellis.com/episode/31/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><strong>When to get Outside Help in Cross-Cultural Work with Brian and Andrew</strong></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> — on Christian mediation for teams stuck in conflict</span></p><p></p><p><a href
