Let's Talk About It‪!‬ Mark & Juby Benton

Do you find yourself struggling to connect with your loved ones such as your spouse? Kids? A family member or even a close friend? Maybe it's with someone at work. Your boss, Co-Worker or people you lead. Whomever it is, what if your struggle is simply because you don't know how they think. 

Maybe you're a "Mind Person" trying to talk to a "Heart Person". Or you're a "Heart Person" trying to talk to a "Mind Person". Either way, we need to learn to speak the other persons language so we can connect and love others well.

There are 2 things every single person on the planet not only craves but needs and that's ATTACHMENT & AUTHENTICITY (in that order). If we want to have Healthy Thriving Relationships (with family, friends, our spouse, dating etc.), we must be able to identify if we are in the right type of relationships. We must also need to identify if we're in unhealthy/toxic relationships. These two things are vital when it comes to having life giving relationships in our lives.

Every year we like to pause and reflect on the past year and address what we've learned so we can continue to live more intentional going into the New Year. These are questions we think would also add value to you and your family.

1. When you look back on this past year, what are some things you’ve generally learned (personally, professionally, spiritually, a skillset, a new discipline etc.)?
2. What 1-3 things have you learned about the Lord this past year?
