About Us

The vision of Relational Peace is to create a world where healthy, positive relationships enrich every community, group, and individual. We believe that by providing accessible, effective training in relational skills, based on biblical faith, we can foster greater understanding and empathy among people of all backgrounds and beliefs. Ultimately, we envision a future where peace, love, and respect are the cornerstones of our society, and where individuals feel empowered to build fulfilling relationships that bring joy and meaning to their lives.
The Elevate Masterclass is based on the work and teaching of Dr. Gary Sweeten.
Here is what people are saying about Dr. Sweeten's material

"Gary’s teachings on genuineness, warmth, empathy, and respect have impacted me deeply, and I’ve taught these principles to many people in various church contexts. The common feedback I’ve received is, “It’s so simple, yet so life-changing.'"

Valerie Chan Pastor, Covenant Evangelical Free Church, Singapore

"I first encountered Dr. Gary Sweeten’s teachings in 2005 as a young Associate Pastor reeling from interpersonal and institutional church conflict. Learning this material and applying these new, but simple skills has radically transformed the way I engage family, friends, and co-workers, and has made my call as a ministerial leader more fulfilling."

M. Sadell Bradley Pastor, The Warehouse Church, Cincinnati

"As a physician and professor of pediatrics, I have heard a frequent complaint from patients: “My doctor doesn’t listen to me.” The(se) proven techniques for optimal listening, based on biblical truths… have been invaluable in my career."

Robert J. Lerer MD, FAAP, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital
