Josiah J. Shaver - Navigating Conflict Biblically

11/11/2025

Hey folks! Wanted to share this next podcast interview from my time in the West Bank over the summer. Listen or watch on Spotify, YouTube or Apple Podcasts.

Tarek Al-Zoughbi unpacks the various programs of Wi’am, The Palestinian Conflict Transformation Center, and how the group helps mediate disagreements within diverse Palestinian society. Our discussion ranges from Wi’am’s kids education programs to mediating between local Palestinian Christian and Muslim families, Palestinian cultural considerations in conflict resolution, navigating domestic abuse cases, and even the subtle, symbolic messaging within coffee drinking between disputing parties in Palestinian culture.

The logistical and political barriers to this goal were tremendous. Listen as Shadi recounts the play-by-play of this incredible humanitarian mission, and how his personal faith in Jesus guided him through the many challenges.
