Seriously, why!?!

Trust is critical to all successful human interactions

So, what does it look like when there is Trust?
· Things go fast
· Decisions are easy
· Situations work out smoothly

Trust made things happen!

Trust is “an assured reliance on the character, ability, truth and strength of someone or something.”

“You know it when you feel it. Simply put, Trust equals confidence!” - Jack Welch

Essentially, in a good way, the whole plan is rigged by the Lord to ensure we must stay Connected!

When it comes to beginning or building healthy Connections…

1. Assume the positive

2. Be a friend

3. Don’t take it personally

4. Take a risk

5. See the best

6. Don’t judge

7. Stop asking “why would they” and start asking “why wouldn’t they”.

Values-based trust

· Deep
· Based on core values
· Hopes, Dreams, Goals

This level of Trust and Connection is what scripture is talking.

This is the level of Trust, of Connecting-More, that the Lord is calling us to!

The last become first, the tail becomes the head, the fearful become the feared and are given all authority to rid the land of those hell-bent on destroying God’s favored!!

Why is deep Connection important?

1. Because the God of the universe has created us to live in Connection, he has made us to live inter-dependent lives for a reason… with Him AND with one-another.

2. Because real Connection is central to our success and survival!

The original greek word for fellowship is Koinonia.

it means shared core beliefs, sharing responsibility, sharing convictions and a unity of spirit.
