Singleness

Understanding your strengths and weaknesses is a transformative tool for your life and career. True self-knowledge empowers you to focus on what truly matters and reach your highest potential.

But as followers of Jesus, we know that even our weaknesses are a divine opportunity—because it’s there that Christ’s power shines the brightest. As Scripture reminds us:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9

Dare to know yourself, to grow, and to let the power of Christ transform every area of your life.

Community

Relational wisdom is the practical outworking of Jesus’ enduring command to love God wholeheartedly and to love others as ourselves (Matthew 22:37–39).
In today’s terms, it involves recognizing and understanding emotions, motives, and strengths—both your own and others’—and applying biblical truth to guide your responses and build healthy, God-honoring relationships.

Developing relational wisdom requires intentional disciplines like self-awareness. When these practices are neglected, life can drift toward confusion, surface-level connections, and unnecessary conflict. But when we pursue them faithfully, we experience richer friendships, stronger marriages, joyful parenting, meaningful work, and—most importantly—a powerful testimony for Christ.
