Overview: This course teaches you to think about justice and conflict in a new way. We all have conflict stories that mark our lives.

Course Outcomes:
- Learn the dynamics of conflict from a Biblical perspective.
- Develop skills to identify the opportunities that exist in every conflict you encounter.
- Embrace the challenges that you face as an individual on parole/probation and establish a plan to change the dynamics of conflict in your life.
- Recognize your existing approach to conflict and how it can be improved.
