Can conflict be a good thing, even necessary? That depends on how it's engaged. The internal conflict that has escalated into the opening battles of a civil war could be taken down a notch or two by simply changing how we handle it.

The statistics may shock and surprise you. Oh, if you think this is a problem that only the world faces and surely can't be in the church, tune in and get some real truth.

Cultural trends are teaching women lies that have to be addressed. Men aren't exactly getting great messages either. Sure, everyone loves yoga pants.

There may even be other consequences.
