In this new season we're going to cover healthy
friendships,
singleness,
dating,
marriage and even life after a relationship, i.e.
being single again. Whatever your interest, you'll know others at different stages so come back every week for a deep-dive into each area.
A huge thanks to Annabel Wheeldon-Clarke of
Engage for helping me put this season together.
Today we're doing an overview i.e. what it means to have “
Healthy Relationships” with Annabel and Nathan Blackaby of
Christian Vision for Men.
The Relationships Venn diagram explained by Annabel is at the
bottom of this page.
Check out the
book: "
7 Reasons Your Church Needs More Men: How to lead a gender balanced church supporting healthy singleness, dating, marriage and youth"
Annabel refers to the work on Boundaries by
Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. See more at
Cloud-Townsend Resources.
Curious after the conversation on Love Languages? There's plenty of info on the Interweb but
here's a good start point (including a quick quiz).

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
