Our Guest: Robert Bruce Angle III, president & CEO, counselor, minister, achiever, striver, @$$hole, type A and enneagram 8. Former director and expert of small groups.
We commonly experience love to the degree we can trust. Love: giving and receiving of needs being met. What love does: sees, soothes, is safe, is secure. Protecting weaknesses and supporting strengths. Relationship with God is not about doing. I am not useful to God, but I am delightful. God has designed us to grow through the context of relationships. Three steps in building relationships. Ask the next question, and the one behind that one too.
