In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Joel Seymour interviews Ken Sande about his path to peacemaking, how he uses it as an evangelism tool in secular business environments, and how emotional intelligence applies to every one of our relationships. Ken also shares why the Matthew 18 approach is a last resort in managing relationships, and the generational investment that can be made through learning about emotional intelligence.
