From Series: "The Struggle"

All of us go through struggles in life. We battle our behavior and fight with our families. Sometimes we find conflict in the workplace and sometimes we find it within us. It can be pretty difficult to figure out how to handle some conflict because our emotions tend to drive our actions and that doesn’t always work out so well. There is hope for us if we want to understand how to deal with these daily battles. From reading the story of Jacob in the bible we learn a lot of things that don’t work, but the bible also has a lot to say about what does work. As we follow the struggles that Jacob had, we will learn some valuable lessons about dealing with our own conflicts.
