How are your friendships these days? Do you feel connected in your church? What about your workplace and your neighborhood? Are you invested in your community?
These relationships are hugely important in our lives. That’s why we’re digging into them in today’s podcast episode! Loving OTHERS well is the fourth pillar of this podcast, and today we will look at WHAT it means and WHY it is important in our every day lives.
Who are these “other” people? These are the relationships outside of our homes, but they are people with whom we interact on a regular basis. They are our friends, our co-workers, our church family, our neighbors, and our community.
We often get so caught up in our little bubbles… my family, my to-do list, my schedule, my marriage, my faith journey… that we put these other relationships on the back burner.
Today, we’ll talk about why that’s a mistake – and then in our next episode (Episode 10), we’ll look at HOW to practically love others well.
