Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
Summary

Pastor's Points
Key Points
- 1.Relational intelligence is the ability to know who needs to be in your life, where they should be positioned, and how to properly manage them.
- 2.When we do not get relationship positioning right initially, we must make it right rather than remaining loyal to bad decisions.
- 3.Certain people sit in certain seats for certain seasons; a shift in positioning does not mean the person was wrong, but that the season has changed.
- 4.Repositioning is not a character judgment or a sign that someone is evil, but often a matter of value and season alignment.
- 5.Relationships should be repositioned as quickly as possible while remaining sensitive to what the other person is navigating.
- 6.When repositioning someone proactively, communicate by being concise, clear about what you will do differently, complete in addressing the issue, and considerate of the other person.
- 7.Communication in repositioning should advocate for yourself by stating what you are going to do differently rather than attacking or demanding change from the other person.
