You're Not a Big, Purple Dinosaur: 3 Ways to Enhance All of Your Relationships

What a better time to talk about how to deal w/ those high-maintenance, life-sucking relationships than Valentines Day Week, right?! ;)  . Sometimes good lil' Christians or people-pleasers, struggle to be honest with their preferences and feelings within relationships. We think things like, 'Jesus hung out with tax-collectors and pigs ;P, who am I too want more for myself in the relationships that I choose to cultivate?' . Sometimes, we even struggle with a bit of a 'savior complex' where we attract/seek out charity-case friendships where we're only friending them to save them. These inevitably lack that life-giving chemistry that true, mutual, authentic friendships have, and rarely help us (or the other party) reach our potential because we view them as the victim and ourselves as the hero. . Could Jesus possibly be ok if we're not BFFs with everyone? Does this mean that our faith is weak? Is Jesus ok with us holding different types of standards and boundaries with different relationships?  . Let's hang out for a bit and explore 3 ways to enhance ALL of your relationships--yep, from those humans you love the most to those you love to avoid, we got you covered!  .
