RelateWell with Dr. Rick Marks Richard

Ever considred that surrendering could be a position of strength and not weakness?  Surrendering is about checking our egos and staying in humility and know what I can and can not control.  Surrender results in mature connections with God, Self and Others.  

Did you know that your ability to love others maturely is linked to your ability to love yourself?  And that when we feel we do not have value, we matter or are loved or loveable, we sink into low self worth and self esteem.  But what if God has declared us valuable, that we matter and that we are loved and loveable?  What difference would it make to your life and relationships?  Dr. Rick explains.

Dr. Rick talks about the powerful life of a humble person and the types of humility that research indicates.  Do you live from humility or a prideful way of being?

We are all adept at negative thinking about ourselves and sadly, many preachers reinforce this negative mindset on the parishoners and congregations. Yet Psalm 139 tells us something different.

Ever noticed that something you said you wish you could take back or at least had said it some other way? When in conflict and frustration we make statements that do not lead to connection and understanding, but disconnection, hurt and misunderstanding.  Dr. Rick identifies 41 statements people say in conflict (Do not Say This) and reveals a better way to say it (Say This Instead).  Tune in.

Psalm 68 tells us that God puts the lonely in families.  But what if your family was not a safe place.  What if families are not safe for the lonely to find and experience true love?  What if the church is not a place for healthy connection for the lonely to be placed in?  Dr. Rick talks from his personal experience of the true meaning of the arabic word, "asabiya" and how this transformed his life and that of his family.  Is your family a place of love and deep connection for God to place the lonely to find love and acceptance?  To not be lonely anymore?
