Have you ever felt like no matter what you do you just can’t grow meaningful relationships with others - maybe a friend, a spouse, a child, a parent?  The entire counseling staff of the Lowcountry Biblical Counseling Center, in just four sessions, will equip you with the best tools and insights they have developed through years of counseling to positively cultivate and change the dynamics of ALL your relationships. 

TOPICS

SESSION 1 - GREG GIFFORD
"RELATIONSHIPS MATTER TO GOD"
Greg Gifford, counselor at the Lowcountry Biblical Counseling Center, leads this first session which the lays the foundation for the entire seminar. Relationships, like all living things, can not be made to grow, but can only be placed in the proper conditions in which God can grow to HIs Glory. We use the word "cultivating relationships" very intentionally in titling this four-session workshop because God makes clear that we water and we sow, but He causes the growth (1 Cor. 3:7). It is up to us to remain sincere and biblical in our hearts, actions, and words toward others (Rom 12:9). But it is up to God to cause that sincerity to become effective in the hearts of those we love.

SESSION 2 - TIM BRYANT
"HOW TO SUSTAIN SINCERITY IN YOUR LOVE"
Tim Bryant, director of the Lowcountry Biblical Counseling Center, leads this second session in the Relationship Workshop. Have you ever considered the relationship between sincerity in love and overflowing with thankfulness". Learn how to need people less so you can love them more - only thankfulness can accomplish this in the heart. You will learn a strategy for handling disappointments in your relationships by letting thankfulness before God keep your heart quiet and content so you can can remain loving instead of covetousness in the relationship. It is up to us to remain sincere and biblical in our hearts, actions, and words toward others (Rom 12:9). But it is up to God to cause that sincerity to become effective in the hearts of those we love.

SESSION 3 - DR. RON ALLCHIN

You will learn how to be very practical in determining the best ways to express love to the closest neighbors in your life. It is up to us to remain sincere and biblical in our hearts, actions, and words toward others (Rom 12:9).
