Part 14 - In every relational interaction we have, we are always asking two questions; Who are we, and How is it like my people to act?  The answers to these questions come from the group of people you belong to, and your relational experiences with those people.  These actions, responses, expressions, happen pre-consciously and reveal your character.

Part 13 - What is it?  Why is it so important? How is it formed? Did Jesus create a Group Identity? What happens when Group Identity is shallow or toxic?  These questions and more will be answered over the next several podcasts as they unpack Group Identity.

Part 12 - In this episode, we will focus on how "Sharing weakness and being vulnerable" in safe community builds Hesed.  We also introduce how narcissism directly opposes Hesed and why narcissist people are threatened by it.

Part 11 - Hesed is the relational glue that holds us together.  That glue does not apply itself to your relationships.  Building Hesed just doesn't happen on its own.  It takes intentional time and practice.  Listen in as we begin a conversation and talk through the four ways to build Hesed in your community.

Part 10 - If Hesed is lacking fear, shame, weakness, withdrawal, and performance will rule.  Join us as we conclude our conversation and answer the question, How much Hesed is in your community?

Part 9 - Hesed is the relational glue that binds us together.  If Hesed is present in your community you will find love, connection, identity, and belonging.  If Hesed is lacking fear, shame, weakness, withdrawal, and performance will rule.  How much Hesed is in your community?

Part 8 - Hesed/Attachment is so important in creating identity.  Our connection to God is directly connected to our connection, positive or negative,  with the people around us.

Part 7 - God's plan for his creation was never for us to be "saved" or "born again", it was and is for us to be attached to Him with a bonded or sticky love.  He also intended for us to be attached to each other in this same way.  So what does it mean to be deeply attached or bonded to God, yourself, and others?

Part 6 - What are some practices and practical things that you can do to begin cultivating a Joy Fueled community?  Listen as Tennison and Ginelle talk about the practical things that they have begun to incorporate into their rhythms of life to create a Joy Fueled community.

Part 5 - Joy is the first ingredient for strong, healthy, transformative communities.  So many churches/communities function without joy as their fuel.  The result is usually a community fueled by fear, shame, and performance where true transformation is not produced.
