TRUST ISSUES- Wk 3: "HOW TO BUILD TRUST MUSCLES"

We all know that trust is a big deal. Nothing really works without it. When you have it, there’s nothing like the confidence and security that comes with it. But we’ve all given it, and later regretted it. Someone broke it or abused it. We didn’t see or react to the warning signs soon enough and were wounded in the process. And afterward, we found ourselves so much more skeptical, on guard, or even completely closed off. In some ways, it’s protected us. And in others, it isolated us. But truth is, we’re not sure where to go from here. Some people just don’t deserve our trust.  Are Christians allowed to say that? And at the same time—being overly suspicious of everyone all the time doesn’t seem to work either. So, how does trust work? How do you build it? How do you know when to give it? When is it wise to withhold it? And is it possible to fix it when it gets broken?  The life of Jesus gives us incredible insight into all these questions. And some of His advice is so unexpected.
