Episode notes

Christianity in its purest form is about loving one another deeply from the heart.

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

1 Peter 1:22 NIV

Time and togetherness are huge components of building relationships, and the past three years of the pandemic have affected that. We need to evaluate how the pandemic has influenced the way we build relationships if we are going to move forward toward God’s destiny for us and our friends.

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. [15] Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Ephesians 4:14-15 NIV

The more we speak the truth in love to each other, the more we will grow together to become who we’re meant to be. Watch this One Quick Thought to learn how to create a culture of friendship in which we build each other up in love.
