What are "Relational skills"? They are brain-based skills that give us the ability and capacity to build meaningful connections with the people in our lives. With practice, relational skills are what we use to maintain our relationships during strain, conflicts and difficulties so we endure hardship well as we stay connected.

    Our friend and Thrive teammate, Kami, shares how practicing relational skills has strengthened her ability to use them in everyday life. She’s also discovered that the more she practices these skills in her interactions with others, the more she sees our abundantly loving God reflected through her life.

  • E134 Value of Practice - Part 1
    Jan 12 2026

    Why is it important to practice relational skills? At THRIVEtoday, we value helping people build healthy habits by embedding these skills into our character so we can reflect Jesus in the best version of ourselves. Chris and Kristy compare practicing relational skills to exercising our bodies—simply reading about them doesn’t make them show up in real life. Through daily practice, we can form new pathways in our brains so godly character becomes our natural, first response in any situation.

    At THRIVEtoday, we’ve been focusing on experiencing our profoundly loving God. As we enter the new year, we’re invited to reflect that love in our relationships. Practicing relational skills helps us grow in our capacity to reflect God’s presence and character, strengthening relationships, building community, and bringing forgiveness and hope—even in difficult moments and with the people we care about the most.
