We are going to look at what is motivating our relationships. we know that relationships can be very challenging and complex. we have all had different experience in our relationships with each other and also and how we relate with God. today's episode will help us understand relationships and the quality of connection we experience in those relationships.  

There are two aspects of what really motivate our relationships with each other and with God. Those two aspects are either rooted in fear or love and joy.  

We see that the things that hinder our joy in.  relationship are things like rejection being abandoned or the fear of falling away or losing someone close to us.  

 I will also share some of my personal testimony and how I have experienced fear and also joy.  My hope is to help you understand and see how we can move from fearful relationships into joy-filled and loving relationships.  We'll end today by examining the life of David.  I'll share a few powerful and practical ways we move out of fear into joy from this scripture. 

 Key scripture: 

1 Samuel 22 (David in the cave of Addullam)
