Summary
Themes
Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.God acts incrementally rather than incompletely, taking us through phases to bring about His ultimate promises.
- 2.The scripture is our ultimate blueprint to thriving in every area of life, including how we manage our relationships.
- 3.The first phase of relational intelligence is Reflection, which requires taking an intentional pause to examine how we honestly feel about our relationships.
- 4.Emotions act as the voice of our soul and serve like a check engine light on a car—they are indicators that prompt us to investigate deeper.
- 5.Frustration is often a key signal revealing that we have unmet or unexpressed expectations.
- 6.The second phase is Evaluation, which involves fruit inspection to observe actions without passing eternal judgment on a person.
- 7.Evaluating the fruit of a relationship allows us to discern whether a connection is healthy or harmful to our well-being.
- 8.The third phase is Clarification, where we categorize people based on actuality rather than potential (e.g., friends, associates, assignments, or advisors).

“If it isn't finished, then God isn't done.”
“Some people can't step into success because they skip steps.”
“Your emotions are the voice of your soul; they are the equivalent to the check engine light on a car.”
“Frustration is an indication that I got some failed expectations.”
“You cannot improve what you don't evaluate.”
“Evaluating your fruit and coming to conclusions about what kind of tree you are is not judging.”
