Heart Smart
Oct 19 2014 • Brianna Millett, Greg Boyd, Kevin Callaghan, Sue Krautkramer
Siblings and co-workers. Parents and supervisors. We all have people in our lives it can be hard to get along with, and even a good relationship has its rough spots. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to reflect the love of God in the way we navigate conflict and handle our emotions. Join us this fall as we take a Kingdom approach to relationships in our practical guide to relating like Jesus.
