This is part of the Keys to Healthy Relationships Series


We may not realize that we are judging others, but the ramifications of judging on our relationships are very destructive. Matthew in the Bible has a lot to say about it and Jesus models grace for us.

Scripture in this episode:
Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:37

Whether it's fighting or disagreeing or other trials of life, there is a place to start to find healing. This key is intimacy with Jesus. Going to Jesus and allowing Him to work in our own hearts, will begin to turn things around in our relationships. I've seen it work in my own life and the lives of others.



Scriptures used in this episode:

Matthew 7:1-5, Matthew 11:28, Romans 12:1-2

It's so easy for relationships to slip into "work" mode and talk mostly of logistics. To have a "GREAT" marriage, there needs to be a deep friendship which includes intimate heart talk.



Creating safe spaces is the key.



Scriptures used in this episode:

Genesis 2:24, 2 Corinthians 6:11-13

Another key to healthy relationships is cultivating a culture of honor in your home. We don't talk about honor much anymore. We don't always know how to show it. In this episode we look at a few ways to create a culture of honor.



Scriptures in this episode:

Romans 12:10, Proverbs 15:33, Proverbs 18:12, Proverbs 22:4, Proverbs 29:23


Five Principles of Honor:

1 - Honoring someone is respecting their position.

2 - Honoring someone is not speaking ill of them or to them.

3 - Honoring someone is fighting against selfishness.

4 - Honoring someone is listening to their thoughts and feelings and taking them into
consideration.

5 – Humility fosters honor.

Everyone wants healthy relationships. One of my favorites is being quick to apologize and quick to forgive. (aka "Keeping short accounts") Don't let the yucky stuff pile up!

Scriptures in this episode:

Romans 12:17-19, Matthew 18:21-22, Matthew 6:15

Sometimes I act like an undercover Christian. Why? I don't know. Jesus calls us to be salt and light. Are we making others thirsty for what we have?



Scriptures in this episode:

Matthew 5:13-16, 1 Peter 3:15, Romans 12:1-2, Ephesians 6:12
