How to Fight like Jesus - Softcover

Fight the way Jesus did.

Conflict is everywhere—in our marriages, friendships, church lives, work, and the quiet places where resentment, fear, and control take root. In How to Fight like Jesus, pastor and spiritual formation leader Eugene Polupan offers a practical, biblically grounded guide to conflict resolution for Christians who are tired of reacting poorly and ready to learn a better way. With pastoral warmth and theological depth, he shows readers that conflict is not just something to avoid or survive; it can become a place of healing, discipleship, and redemption.

Drawing from Scripture, spiritual formation practices, and real-life relational experience, Polupan helps readers uncover the deeper forces driving unhealthy conflict, including fear, woundedness, and the need for control. He offers a Christ-centered framework for engaging tension with truth, humility, courage, and love.
