Hey, what's going on, everybody? Welcome to the Zoe Church podcast. You are listening right now

to a message from Zoe Church. We are in part two of a series that we're in called Messy.

We're trying to bring clarity and comfort to relationships that have been chaotic or confusing. As always, thank you to everyone

that subscribes, comments, shares. Thank you so much for being on the journey with us.

And if you are listening, a part of Zoe family from outside of Los Angeles, make sure

that you come and stop by and see us in person

soon. But we're going to jump in right now, John Chapter 13, and hear this week's message about making

sense out of relationships.

We're going to go to the scriptures. Watch Jesus here in John 13. Watch what he says to us. He says,

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

By this, all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another so in other words

the jesus saying how will anyone know that you're a christian by your spotify playlist

by your bumper sticker by your bio on social media no No, it will not be anything exterior. Your relationships

actually are the calling card to whether you're a follower of the way or not. He said,

the way people will know that you follow me is if you have healthy relationships. By the way,

healthy relationships are contrived of healthy

individuals committed to making the relationship healthy. See, I used to think that healthy

relationships were just the result of two healthy people. But even if you have one healthy

person and the other person's healthy, that doesn't mean the

relationship will be healthy. No, it's two healthy people saying we want to build a healthy

relationship. The happiest people in the world, it is nothing to do with their car, their house,

or their vacations. The happiest people in the world, and has everything to do with their relationships.
