Trust is the one thing that changes everything, says Stephen M. R. Covey. Whether you are trying to recover from trust-breaking behaviors in the past or want to invest in your most important relationships for the future, this 7-week small group will help you implement five key practices you need to enjoy the benefits of being a trusted man. Some tough truths about trust: — Too many men who are trustworthy are not trusted. It is dangerous to assume you are trusted by others just because you feel you are trustworthy. — You do not know how trusted you really are until the relationship encounters risk or a crisis. — Relational interactions are never neutral. Unless you know how to build trust intentionally, trust is probably eroding—because you're like every human that makes mistakes. The good news is that in the same way relationships improve when you can speak another person's love language, trust grows when you can take your eyes off yourself and discover how to act in a way that resonates with what the other person values. This small group is open to all men, but will especially benefit men who are single (unmarried or divorced), engaged, newly married, or have children. The content is accessible to anyone on his faith journey and also to the unchurched (if you want to invite someone not attending River Valley). This 90-minute small group will have a significant amount of interaction to maximize personal growth: — 30 minutes with a few others to share wins and challenges from the previous week — 30 minutes to learn new Trusted Men content through live instruction and then ask questions — 30 minutes of guided conversation in small groups to discuss how each person can implement that week's content in two important relationships Take a 7-week journey with others seeking to be Trusted Men so that you can be building trust intentionally, and not just think you have it or deserve it.
