In Luke 22: 47-71 we can see that Jesus used different styles of conflict management. There are times when it is better to avoid the conflict like the turtle and there are times when it is necessary to confront the conflict like the shark. In this section of the lecture "Real Churches Manage Conflict" Richard Thompson: 

- shares his personal experience and wisdom from the Book of Proverbs;

- emphasizes the dangers in the tactics of the turtle;

- talks about the drawbacks of always being the shark
