Great conversation everyone, as a psychology major I greatly approve. I think this conversation and way of thinking about things is very much needed in our world today. I just hope we can apply it, I’m going to try.

Love this from a Christian perspective!! I love connecting and I’ve learned so much from great quality on YouTube. But! Hearing this from her perceptive is OUTSTANDING and fun!

This episode was good for my heart. I lost 3 loved ones in very recent years, and I'm sick and tired of people asking me "how are you?" It incites anger and dread every time someone asks that question. And the worst part is when you actually tell them how you are feeling and then they feel uncomfortable or change the subject. I had to ask someone to please stop repeatedly asking me that question because they think I'm going to magically "feel better" the next time they ask me again

[KisnCozns]

Great episode and great idea for a book. I, too, have felt the insincerity of those surface questions and have appreciated those who REALLY want to connect. It is something I'm working on myself, to allow the Spirit to grow my heart to invest and truly care for those around me, wanting to connect deeply with them. So much is distracting us from true connection. May we become better communicators for Christ!

I listen to podcasts while I get my 10k steps in. I’ve listened to this one on repeat going on 4 times now. I want to listen again. I may get 15k steps today, lol. My heart is full. I can’t wait to go out and practice the questions and conversations you’ve mentioned. ❤

Proverbs 12:26 says, “The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.”

When choosing a friend, especially a best friend, we should make sure he or she is a growing Christian.

[Brenda.Patawaran]

This was such a great and useful podcast. Thank you! 🙏🏼

[crestalee]

"Seeing the best about someone", isn't always wise. See people for what they show you. Always protect your heart. Be shrewd, is what Jesus taught us. Be shrewd.

[LS-egge]

This was a great topic! What a blessing

[sankhar]

Very profound. We need to be intentional!

[dottysicat]

The Four Mindsets for a Warm Connection 1. Be curious 2) Believe the best 3) Express concern (co-carry the burden) and 4) share my life. Listen for that person's core values while they are talking and you are listening. The goal is not to win an argument, it's to make a connection or to build up the other person. This is Christology? If you win the argument, then you lost the connection, especially if it's with your spouse.

Where are the downloads for conversation? I bought the book. Cannot find it, also went on website for guest, and tried to find it in transcript, but no transcript offered

[EddieSprouse]

What happened to your podcast?I couldn't find it on spotify today

[oterosocram]

People are so distracted, permeated with garbage, entertainment, social media that there is no time to have the interest to have meaningful relationships
