Counterfeit vs Genuine Intimacy :: Counterfeits

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 2/24/2019

There are two kinds of relationships: Deep ones and casual ones.

Have you ever wondered what makes the difference? It is similar interests? It is similar values? What about similar backgrounds? Similar outlooks?

All of those things play a role, but I believe that which makes a friendship deep is something called covenant.

This podcast speaks of genuine friendship — real intimacy — and offers the key to making it real in many contexts of life.

Tools for Resilience | Spiritual Companionship

Presented on 4/29/2018 at Curwensville Alliance by Pastor Steve Shields

Resilience is a personal trait that is undeniably necessary in a world that often seems to push people down.

God knows this, and so he provides his people with tools that facilitate resilience. One such tool is that of Spiritual Companionship.

This podcast looks at two spiritual companions, Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, and encourages us to develop the same kinds of relationships so that we can be resilient.
