Continuing in our In The Making series, Calum Shaw, Matt Sones, and Michelle Geringer explore the importance of reciprocal relationships. Spiritual and emotional maturity don’t happen in isolation; God designed us for connection. One of the key reasons is that relationships are essential for our spiritual growth.
We also see that God’s Kingdom is full of paradox. Growth often happens through the mystery and beauty of mutual, give-and-take relationships. Listen in as we unpack what it means to both give and receive in community.
