What does it look like to cultivate connected relationships?
Maybe you think that simply by having lots of people connections, that you’re truly connected. But what if that isn’t really the case. Maybe your sense of loneliness and isolation is that you’re in the middle of many but not feeling deep, authentic connection.
We’ve got so much to learn about cultivating the art of truly connected relationships, so that’s why this season of the More to Be Podcast is devoted to the topic of building connections and meaningful relationships!
With our line up of special guests along with the vibrant conversations infused with Scripture truths, we’re going to unpack God’s design for His body on earth! We get to explore together what we can do to experience not only a fresh encounter with God through the study of His Word and also His radically transforming love through our connections with one another. If you’re ready for real growth in your life and uncovering significant purpose, this season is for you.
In this episode of the More to Be Podcast, I’m joined by my dear friend and regular co-host, Kalie Kelch, to unpack God’s Word around the concept of what cultivating connected relationships looks like into today’s culture and hype-connected world.
I bring into the discussion the concept of T.R.U.E. Connected Relationships, which I’ve adapted from my equine-assisted training and the example of my friend, Shelly, who leads an equine-assisted therapy organization. We talk honestly about motherhood, idolatry, God’s love, and His healing work through relationships as we open up to John 15 and look the instruction of Jesus urging us to remain in love and be connected to the Him.
We live too much as silos unto ourselves. – Kalie
T.R.U.E. Connected Relationships are built upon Trust, Respect, Understanding, and Empathy.
