There are so many ways to harm relationships—one big one is how often you check your phone even though you’re with people. But there are also many ways to grow relationships, and we talk about some today. Things like vulnerability & letting others be themselves.

If we’re not actively seeking God’s approval, we will seek someone else’s approval. But real courage to know others comes from our understanding of God’s approval. Growing relationships also requires getting out of our comfort zones. Christians are not immune to idolatrous tendencies. If we’re not careful, we can end up worshiping our own piety and that can also rob us of quality relationships in the Church. Epic Every Day is available on iTunes, Google Play, Sticher and YouTube.

If we’re not ourselves with people we don’t actually have a relationship. And we need to be reminded of who we are. God is the only one who can fill in that context—we get into trouble when we let others tell us who we are. It is possible though to create a track (or a center) to our life, based on truth, that can act like a home base to give us the security to be real in the world.

Relationships based on interrogation don’t work very well. But relationships don’t grow without asking some uncomfortable questions either. Remember, we’re not surrendered to others, we’re surrendered to God for our security. This opens us up to trust God to develop the relationship with others as He will. Boundaries are really important in a valued relationship. Epic Every Day is available on iTunes, Google Play, Sticher and YouTube. Join our Facebook group ! Twitter: @AKindOfLying @ElizFrerich...

Calling needs unity within ourselves and unity between us and our community.

It’s way too easy to be too busy to connect to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Calling is always a group sport and it needs love. This is demonstrated in our culture by the church-hopping epidemic—for some reason we don’t think we need to maintain those relationships in order to grow. We need to pursue calling together.

Calling is us living in the Slipstream--the channel God has designed us to move in. Fortunately, there’s a manual with principles and instructions. God’s call will pull us out of our comfort zone to do things that are impossible to do outside of the power of God. Calling also stretches us.

Anxiety kills calling, fast. We’re often so bogged down by our busy-list, we can’t hear God’s call.

We’ve heard too much about open secrets in the news lately. Addiction tends to be a secret – either from everyone around us or from our very selves. Even if we flaunt addictive behavior like a food addiction, it prevents our friends from talking to us about it in any meaningful way.

There is a certain conform in the monotony of the daily grind. It can be a sanctuary from the emotional complexities of life.

Too often we don’t see God rightly. For some reason we think He’s a taker, wanting more and more control, demanding surrender. But in reality He wants to give freedom, ironically, through our surrendering control to Him. Addicts can’t understand this even though they surrender the control of their life to the drug. Moving in obedience instead of rebellion does great battle against addictions. 2 Tim 2:20-21 Reconstruct Pod Cast: https://www.reconstructpodcast.com Epic Every Day is available on iT...

Growing up is traumatic, and trauma—anything your brain is not equipped to handle—makes and breaks neural pathways. Often, our childish ways of managing stress stick around into adulthood—these are addictions! They can be so native that they’re invisible to us.
