NCD Church Survey Question 30: In our church it is possible to talk with other people about personal problems (Loving relationships).
The purpose of this series is to offer some basic “entry points” for beginning to explore your Minimum Factor graph.
This post is for those whose Minimum Factor is Loving Relationships.
Two initial points need to be made.
If there is a new Christian in your church, ask how they are going and how you might help meet any needs they have.
Speak out about the positives of a person or current situation (or how things could clearly be worse) when in any negative sounding discussions this week (but then of course work to make the situation better).
Allow more time than usual in an upcoming personal or group meeting when you will visibly put aside the agenda, your diary, your phone and all other distractions and purely focus your interest and attention on the person with whom you are meeting, as a person.
