Relationships are a powerful tool to build character and determine personal direction. If you long to make an impact in this world there are some key relationships you’ll want to pursue. Chip talks about how to discover and develop those type of important relationships.

Main Points
Introduction: More is really “caught than taught.”
  • It’s true when we are young.
  • It’s true when we grow up.
  • Timeless Axiom: We become most like those we admire and those with whom we interact most frequently.

    • Practice: Pursue Great People! --Proverbs 13:20

    I. Why pursue great people?
    • God's Word is emphatic about the company we keep. --1 Corinthians 15:33; Hebrews 13:7; 1 Corinthians 4:15-16; Proverbs 27:17
    • Our baggage and backgrounds demand it! (Reference: The Wounded Healer by Henry Nouwen)
      • II. How do you pursue great people?
      • Start by looking in the rear-view mirror. What four or five people have most positively impacted your life?
      • Now, look out the windshield. We all need three kinds of people in our lives.
        1. A Paul to “learn from.”
        2. A Barnabas to “share with.”
        3. A Timothy to “help grow.”
          4. III. Get started without getting discouraged.
          • A warning to heed.
          • A perspective to consider.
          • An action plan to follow.
