Pastor Steve Brown

​

God works in our relationships to authentically resolve conflicts, provoke spiritual transparency, and foster spiritual constancy. In this way we experience real, deep, and lasting peace in our relationships. When we intentionally open our relationships to be a significant arena of life where God shapes us to live by his values (sanctification), we experience this peace in our relationships.

 

Open up your relationships to be where God shapes you. You could begin by asking a significant person in your life one of these questions: What is something you would like me to do more often? What is an unresolved conflict that you think remains between us? What is a next step in my faith that you think would be helpful for me to take? What is a personal prayer that you would like me to begin praying for you?
