Are you listening?

This week we're growing in Deep Relationships by practicing the skill of listening. What if rather than racing to get our opinion or perspective out, we listened first instead?

We have so much to learn from others in our communities, and in a culture fighting to be the loudest voice, this is something that's desperately needed. Practice with us by intentionally being slow to speak and quick to listen.

Ready to apologize?

This week we continue to practice deep relationships by remembering who God called us to be -- a healthy family clothed in love and marked by mercy, humility, and patience.

Practice sharing faults & affirmations: --Confess your own faults that impacted the community. --Speak affirmations over others - specific ways you saw God's grace at work in another's life.

Love dealing with conflict? Yeah, probably not so much...

Jesus invites us into an amazing vision of community united as a healthy family where everyone is connected in love. Relationships can be restored. Living this out is not always easy, but it's definitely worth it.

Practice with us this week by reflecting on your relationships with the Holy Spirit and having a hard conversation if necessary. Is there someone you need to be reconciled with?

You don't have to go digging for something or try to pick a fight, but approach the situation with humility and grace. We're all in this together so let's deal with the junk that tries to get between us.

Pop some champagne or pull out the tissues...

Life is filled with beauty, joy and wonder, AND there is also pain and loss happening at the same time. Part of growing deep relationships means going through the highs and lows together. As we learn to live and love deeply like Jesus we embrace the emotions and share our joy and pain with each other as a family.

Who in your life has something you can celebrate with them right now? Who in your life is going through something really hard?

This week practice with us by being intentional to celebrate and/or grieve with your community.

Deep Relationships are impossible without vulnerability. This week, we focus on why vulnerability is so important, and how it fosters relational connection.

Serving the city and praying for the Kingdom to break in to Covington.

What's your biggest fear is probably not the 1st question to ask someone, but it might be the 2nd...

Who are the people in your life who really know you? We're starting a new series of summer practices to grow in deep relationships as we follow the way of Jesus together. This week, be intentional to start a conversation with someone from your community and ask the 2nd question that gets below the surface to the real stuff.

Join Rachel, Tyler and Joe in the backyard for a conversation about what we're learning and some stories practicing prayer together as a community.
