Relationality

Today we’re going to be talking about equality. We live in a male-dominated society and people often mistake this as God’s intention for the world. Today we examine the scriptures to see what God actually did say about gender relations. Tuning in, you’ll hear about how both men and women are made in God’s image and are therefore equal, and how we know that God is not okay with a human being contro...

In today’s episode, we discuss being driven by dysfunction, and why it’s so important to not let your life be determined by this type of thinking. Many people have misleading ideas about the significance of dysfunctional relationships. Like the notion that you need to go through a bad relationship to deserve and appreciate a good one. There are also examples of people who have sabotaged healthy, f...

Today we talk about harmony and why it is so important to find a partner who has harmony in their home. Tuning in you’ll hear why anyone you consider dating should be on good terms within themselves and within their own family, as well as the one exception to this rule. You’ll also hear how the way someone treats their opposite-sex parent is a good indication of how they will treat you, why unreso...

We’re back on the topic of foundation; this time in relation to a dating relationship. When it comes to your partner, there is no stronger foundation that you can build with them than a genuine friendship. In fact, this is the purpose of dating. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who may pretend to want to be your friend, but it’s important that you are able to separate the pretend...

It might sound strange, but a whole, single person, is the foundation of a healthy family. God relates to us one on one, and singleness in the Kingdom is wholeness. If you want Biblical success in your relationships, you have to become whole, because until then, your self-worth will be dependent on other people. When you get married without being single first, your foundation is weak, and you will...

Welcome to another episode of Relationality, where Christian singles who are dating and waiting come together to grow and prepare for a successful marriage. Perhaps, like Dr. Gwen, you know you are different. But it's not always easy to embrace that difference! Men and women are different because they have been designed to be different. To have relational health, you must begin to see your differe...

Society has become so technology-driven that the art of relational connection has been lost. Anybody who has attempted to form a connection through electronic communication probably has an understanding of how hard it can be. In this episode, we discuss how we crave connection because God created us for it. We also chat about how we connect with others through the three levels of spirit, soul, and...

Most of us will have spoken about falling in or out of love at some point in our lives, but the reality is, true love does not make you fall, it lifts you up! In this episode, Dr. Gwen breaks down the four types of love: Eros, Philia, Storge, and Agape. We find out which of these is Godly love, and which ones are craftily posing as true love! We discover how conditional love leads to disappointmen...

Despite the fact that this belief has become prevalent in our society, dating should not be a trial and error exercise. Dating is supposed to be a time when you form a deep connection with your partner on a spiritual level, which ultimately leads to a marriage. This is what God wants for you, and you shouldn’t settle for anything less. In today’s episode I am going to be talking about what it mean...

There are many reasons that people fear being alone, but the biggest is that they are often not comfortable with themselves. This episode dives into the relationship between being alone versus the feeling of loneliness, and how we would often rather be in a relationship that isn't right for us than be alone with ourselves. Dr. Gwen shares some of the root causes of this loneliness and how it's oft...

Many people are under the false impression that God will choose their spouse for them, and this can lead to much confusion, disappointment, or even manipulation! In this episode, we investigate this myth and discuss the true causes of marital problems and how we can look to the Bible to avoid them. Dr. Gwen demonstrates that the proof in the pudding, and begs the question: if God doesn’t choose sa...

When God made Adam and Eve, He gave them His blessing. This means that he intended loving relationships between men and women in general to be a blessing, not baggage. In this episode of Relationality, we explore what a healthy relationship should look like according to the Bible, give some pointers on the causes of struggles between men and women, and speak about how to know when it is time to wa...

Welcome back to another episode of Relationality, where Dr. Gwen addresses all things relationship! Today we dive into sex bonds and how our beliefs and prejudices about gender can create barriers in our relationships. We dive into how God intended us to be unified, and why, according to His word, your partner should energize you. Dr. Gwen tells us about her own experience of a relationship that b...

Are you single and feeling singled out or like a social status? Well you are not a status and there's nothing wrong with you because you are single. God said, it's not good for man to be alone…He didn't say it's not good for man to be single.  It's time for a paradigm shift in your perspective as a single. Singleness is not a bad thing and it is not a curse. In this episode I share the meaning of...

Join me in this episode as I share some personal and professional experiences that inspired me to become a relationship coach and launch a podcast on relationships. I also define Relationality, breaking it down into three dimensions; Relation, Reality, and Relativity. We all have personality, but relationality is lacking for many. God created us for relation, therefore we need relationality in ord...
