You Were Made for Relationships - Russell Verhey (Ep 17.1)

Here at Daily Growth Discipleship, we believe there are 5 steps to creating a lifestyle of discipleship. And step 3 is walking with others. We weren’t meant to walk along. We were created for community. And because of that we have a deep need to build relationships with others. Relationships are part of what give our lives meaning because they are the context in which we live and the reason we serve others. But probably more than any other reason, we crave relationships with others because we serve a relational God. He saw that it wasn’t good for man to be alone in the garden of eden, and so he created the woman from his flesh so that he would have a relationship with another. God, who is triune and relational by his very nature, created us so that we could know him and be known by him. And so how we relate to one another is greatly influenced by our relationship with him and vice versa. Learning how to grow in our relationships with others becomes a critical part of our discipleship process. Christ may call us individually to follow Him, but He calls many to this journey. And so we must learn to walk with and serve one another as brothers and sisters in Christ.
