While we encourage church leaders to be peacemakers, if at all possible, there are times when a battle is necessary. Thom and Sam look at five of those scenarios.

2. When abuse is evident.
3. When the unity of the church is really at stake.
4. When your family is attacked.
5. When bullies don't stop bullying.
