Conflict is uncomfortable and inescapable but can often be beneficial.
“Communities need tensions if they are to grow and deepen. Tensions come from conflicts…. A tension or difficulty can signal the approach of a new grace of God. But it has to be looked at wisely and humanly.”
- Jean Varnier, founder of L’Arche
Where does conflict come from and how do we handle it?

Conflict is a result of Inner Expectation funneled through Outer Expression.
Your being has expectations: views, wants, needs, and desires.
A good question to ask in your current or next conflict:
What is my expectation in this situation or with this person?
Your expectations may have been influenced and shaped by culture, your family, and even past/current sin.
Expectations are not always bad but they need a filter.

Fortress/Stronghold
- anything on which one relies
of the arguments and reasonings by which someone endeavors to fortify his opinion and defend it against his opponent.
Do you have an expectation stronghold?
Clear all your expectations through inner reflection with God and outer conversation with people.

Personal note from Pastor Jonathan Fox
As recently as the last few months there are areas of my life where I have had expectations that were not cleared out. I had them for my friends, my wife, my kids, the church, and even myself. But as I have spent time in reflection with the Holy Spirit I have seen God work in these areas. He hasn't changed all the above mentioned people and relationships, he shifted AND sifted my expectations. Some of the things I wanted were based out of my own insecurities, some out of my family history, others even out of wounds and hurts that I wanted protected. Some of the things I expected were good but I never verbalized them, so when I acted certain ways people had no idea what was going on. Clearing expectations is a powerful, supernatural tool for seeing conflict evolve from an ongoing, unresolved mess to an opportunity to see God's grace form our hearts.
