This episode was good for my heart. I lost 3 loved ones in very recent years, and I'm sick and tired of people asking me "how are you?" It incites anger and dread every time someone asks that question. And the worst part is when you actually tell them how you are feeling and then they feel uncomfortable or change the subject. I had to ask someone to please stop repeatedly asking me that question because they think I'm going to magically "feel better" the next time they ask me again
I had to drop a friend over her asking me if my daughter wants to see me ( my daughter cut me off via text on her birthday 5 years ago) When I answered her and said No, my friend would every time make a noise like she was calling her horse or some farm animal. I’m not joking.
"Seeing the best about someone", isn't always wise. See people for what they show you. Always protect your heart. Be shrewd, is what Jesus taught us. Be shrewd.
Maybe we can do both: see the best in people while being aware of their worst. For workers, if the positive outweighs the negative, then depending on the position, keep them. For friends, the same applies. For family, that is not an option. So healthy boundaries applies
Whatever people show you about themselves… BELIEVE them. That is the truth of who they are and you should trust them to be just that. Radical acceptance is committed to reality, not believing“the best” or the worse we romanticize them to be…respectfully❤
I really loved this podcasts! Please just slow down when listing the key points. It gets so interesting and human nature to talk so fast. Great word today! Love it! Please do a part 2! Thank you for this.
I listen to podcasts while I get my 10k steps in. I’ve listened to this one on repeat going on 4 times now. I want to listen again. I may get 15k steps today, lol. My heart is full. I can’t wait to go out and practice the questions and conversations you’ve mentioned. ❤
Proverbs 12:26 says, “The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.” When choosing a friend, especially a best friend, we should make sure he or she is a growing Christian.
Interact with people but choose your friends carefully. That's Biblical. Your friends somehow influence you. Choose a growing christian not a stagnant nominal christian
The Four Mindsets for a Warm Connection 1. Be curious 2) Believe the best 3) Express concern (co-carry the burden) and 4) share my life. Listen for that person's core values while they are talking and you are listening. The goal is not to win an argument, it's to make a connection or to build up the other person. This is Christology? If you win the argument, then you lost the connection, especially if it's with your spouse.
People are so distracted, permeated with garbage, entertainment, social media that there is no time to have the interest to have meaningful relationships
Where are the downloads for conversation? I bought the book. Cannot find it, also went on website for guest, and tried to find it in transcript, but no transcript offered
I’ve enjoyed your programming for quite sometime. Lately, I’ve heard one too many references to your political views, particularly making fun of an opposing party. This closes God’s message to people with whom you disagree. Let’s give to Caesar what is Caesar, and to God what is God’s. Keep it separate. Goodbye for now.
This confirms something that God just started re-showing me last week ❤Thank you God for your grace!

I so agree. My husband left me for 6 weeks. I got so tired of people asking me that question.

I've learned that lesson lately.
Respectfully disagree.

We still have to interact with everyday people. It's best to be pleasant.

I agree with you, but she is not talking about being best friend with everybody but to interact with everybody in a deep way

Be aware of manipulation!!!!
What happened to your podcast?I couldn't find it on spotify today

There was no making fun of here if you really listen. They bring up the political and cultural divide because they want to heal it. Do you?
Wow, serious eye roll when the "Christian" Host mentions democrats as the enemy. Serious ugh! Christian democrat here "elevate your thinking" dude.
How can one be a born again Christian and support the evil that the democrat party supports? Please do your homework and research their agenda!!!!
Did you really listen to his question? Keep it in context! He wants to know how to bring people together.
감사합니다.
