The Good Life - Week One: You Matter

One of the most overlooked relationship principles in the Bible is personal
affirmation. In fact, most people don’t even realize they are starving a relationship they desperately need to thrive. How can we be sure we are properly feeding the most important relationships in our lives so they can continue to grow and flourish? Living “the good life” isn’t about circumstances or possessions; but what we sow into the lives of others.
