“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.” Deuteronomy 5:11 Names are pretty important to God. Here’s some ways I remember names: • Say it back to them when you meet • Visualize the face with the name after you leave • Write it down with other names of people in that group so you have a reference (I use Trello for this). • Ask: “Remind me of your name again?” Want to connect with a mentor?

“Therefore in all things, whatever you want people to do for you, so do for them for this is the law and the prophets.” Matthew 7:12 The five love languages are gifts, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, and acts of service. It is important to learn how to love with all of them. Jessica Sowards of Roots and Refuge has a powerful video called “Fluency in Love: He cares about the Cowprint” that tells the story of how God showed her that some of her love languages were broken and ho...

“We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19 I believe that initiative is the sixth love language. According to this interview with Vaness Van Edwards, the most popular people are those who liked the most people: https://youtu.be/QqnNqpvO5kQ When we are grounded in Christ and we know that we are loved by Him, it becomes natural to show appropriation for others, which is the first step to initiating friendship.

Confrontation is hard. In this episode, I share about two separate ministry collaborations that went south around the same time and the process I took in dealing with each. After waiting many months, the first leader received my confrontation with humility and repentance. The second leader did not receive it.

Joanna Gaines is the closest thing to an actual Proverbs 31 women I know of and even she says: “Because no one can physically do or be everything to everyone, I knew that some things would have to give.

When we deal with the small patterns in our life, the way we think about people, and the way we deal with our anger, our relationships become healthier and we find peace. ♡

“You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. & great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. & even loved in spite of ourselves.” - Victor Hugo, Les Misérables
