The Well Said Podcast

We all know that relationships are one of the most important aspect of our lives, but what does it actually take to build richer relationships? The challenge with this question is the fact that over our lives we get into certain relational habits the prevent us from cultivating richer and deeper connections. Often times, we are not even aware of these habits. What is more, these habits are often difficult to analyze in ourselves because, most likely, the people in our lives have similar habits.

This is where we see one of the great blessings of life in the community of Christ. As a body of Christ, we are a diverse collection of folks from all walks of life, who help counterbalance our weakness and help to demonstrate to us aspects of Jesus that we have been previously blind to. At the end of the day, the perfect example of rich relational wisdom is Jesus himself. He is the only one who came and loved us perfectly. When we take moment to look at his life, there are a few key characteristics of building richer relationships that we can see. This week on the show we take a moment to dive into some of these specific details and how they play out in our everyday relationships.

Here is a brief outline of the discussion. Rich relationships include:
* Letting people in to your inner life
* Learning to take others in
* Cultivating trust
* Learning to let things go and not hold on to grudges
* Communicating real presence
