Start a Peacefire Practice
Move from personal Peacefire formation into launching a practical Christian conflict-navigation ministry with role clarity, wise boundaries, trusted referrals, and faithful next-step support.
Start a Peacefire Practice equips trained Christian leaders to turn Peacefire formation into a practical ministry pathway for helping others navigate conflict with truth, grace, wisdom, boundaries, accountability, and the presence of God.This course is designed for leaders who have completed Navigating Conflict in Christ ministry training or MIN 240: PeaceSmart Relationships and are ready to multiply what they have learned through a local, relational, or online Peacefire Practice.
Course Overview
Start a Peacefire Practice is a leadership multiplication course developed by Attorney/Pastor Brian DeCook and presented by Haley Steiner.
The course helps trained leaders move from personal Peacefire formation into launching a practical Peacefire Practice in a Soul Center, church, chaplaincy setting, parish ministry, small group, workplace, online ministry, or community-based Christian care context.
Students will learn how to create a clear and responsible ministry pathway for helping people navigate conflict without offering counseling, legal advice, formal mediation, crisis intervention, or pressure-based reconciliation.
A Peacefire Practice helps people move away from flesh-driven reactions and toward God’s presence, truth, grace, wisdom, power, and faithful obedience.
The Peacefire Framework
Students learn how to help others recognize three different spiritual and relational dynamics that often appear in conflict.
Wildfire
The flesh-driven reactions, offenses, fears, accusations, control patterns, anger, avoidance, and destructive habits that spread conflict.
Strangefire
The temptation to pursue godly goals through self-powered, controlling, manipulative, fearful, or ungodly methods.
Peacefire
God’s presence, truth, grace, wisdom, and power forming a Christ-centered response marked by humility, responsibility, forgiveness, courage, and peace.

Role Clarity and Safety
Start a Peacefire Practice does not prepare students to provide counseling, psychotherapy, legal advice, crisis intervention, formal mediation, or professional conflict-resolution services.
It also does not authorize leaders to pressure people into forgiveness, reconciliation, renewed trust, unsafe contact, or continued access to harmful relationships.
Peacefire ministry must remain consent-based, role-aware, and safety-conscious.
Leaders must recognize when a situation requires professional counseling, legal assistance, emergency response, domestic violence support, institutional intervention, pastoral oversight, or another qualified referral.Healthy Ministry Guardrails
