In the 65th episode, Dr. Knabb explores collaborative problem solving as a strategy for being a peacemaker in contemporary society. First, he discusses the collaborative problem solving (CPS) approach for resolving conflict and teaching executive functioning skills. Then, Dr. Knabb offers a Christian understanding of the salience of being a peacemaker across home life, work life, community life, and congregational life. To conclude, a meditative exercise is provided to cultivate peaceable-mindedness in conflict-ridden Western societies.
