We had the privilege of talking with Lieza Bates of Thrive Today. She shared with us how we can improve every relationship we have when we recognize that God created us for joy and meaningful connection. We can increase our joy by practicing appreciation, pulling away regularly to recharge, and practicing the presence of God. Lieza shared with us practical ways that we can keep our relational circuits on and that we can store up memories of joy for moments when we need a joy resource to draw from. Learning these relational skills will improve our relationship with God and others. Lieza is a gem. You’re gonna love her and you’re going to learn as you listen. Enjoy!
