Episode 114 Take Two: Seeing Friends As Siblings with Rachel Gilson
Manage episode 300399241 series 1627021
Sometimes, we need the cold water bucket of siblinghood thrown over our heads and our questions.
- What happens when we feel attraction toward our friends?
- What if we become enmeshed with other people?
- How do we guard against turning inward rather than outward, and encourage one another to continue on mission with Jesus?
Rachel Gilson shares her story and the beauty of being family in Christ in really helpful ways. We’re thrilled to revisit this conversation with her.
Listen in with us.
//:Highlights
- “We kind of intuitively sense that a sibling relationship is a special kind of relationship: It has both really deep intimacy but is absolutely not erotic.” –Rachel Gilson
- “A lot of time what temptation does is it wants to pull away our focus from, ‘God has given me gifts and opportunity to—with His Body—build His kingdom.’ Temptation ends up being this big gospel waste.” –Rachel Gilson
- “Occasionally, you get this best friend situation where you turn inward like an ingrown toenail … you end up pairing up in a way that shuts out the broader body. There is something about sibling-hood that reminds us we are a part of a family.” –Rachel Gilson
//: Do the Next Thing
