A Theology for Relationships

The Bible provides a wealth of guidance on how to build close relationships with God and the people around us. In this session we will organize this teaching into a simple, six-part discipleship paradigm called “relational wisdom.” This paradigm is similar to the increasingly popular concept of “emotional intelligence,” but is far more robust because it is centered on God, informed by Scripture, and driven by the gospel of Christ. The six primary skills or disciplines of RW are: God-Awareness and God-Engagement, Self-Awareness and Self-Engagement, and Other-Awareness and Other-engagement.
