GROW Model | The Right Criteria: Choosing By Values, Not Feelings

Feelings are real, but they’re not always reliable. Many of our biggest regrets come from decisions made on impulse rather than principle. The right criteria come from values — things that don’t shift with the moment. Today, we explore how to build decisions that last by grounding them in what…

GROW Model | The Right Criteria: When Appearances Mislead

We live in a world obsessed with optics — image over integrity, noise over nuance. But the right criteria go deeper than what we see on the surface. Today, we look at how judging by appearance can cost us real value and how to reset our lens to see people,…

GROW Model | The Right Criteria: What Are You Using to Measure

Everyone uses criteria, whether we realise it or not. From whom we trust to what we chase, our decisions are guided by invisible checklists we’ve built over time. But are those lists rooted in truth, or in habit, culture, and emotion? Today, we challenge ourselves to examine the standards we…

GROW Model | The Significant Other And Friction: Why Friction Exists In Relationships

Every close relationship carries friction. It’s not always a sign of failure but often proof of proximity. When two people bring their histories, expectations, and wounds into one space, conflict is almost guaranteed. The real question isn’t whether friction exists, but what it reveals about the deeper needs, fears, and…

GROW Model | Getting Into The Love of God: The Love That Offends

God’s love offends our sense of control, our pride, and even our religious rules. Think of Jesus eating with tax collectors, touching lepers, and forgiving prostitutes. His love still offends today when it crosses boundaries of race, gender, culture, and even religion. If God’s love doesn’t offend us at some…

GROW Model | Getting Into The Love of God: The Love That Costs

Love isn’t cheap. For God, love cost His Son’s life. For us, it costs our pride, our control, our need to cling to self. God’s love is free, but living in it requires surrender — something many of us aren’t prepared for. His love will strip you down before it…

GROW Model | Getting Into The Love of God: The Love That Comforts

God’s love isn’t just hugs and comfort; it cuts deep. Real love confronts sin, not to shame, but to heal. Sometimes, His love feels like a surgeon’s scalpel, precise, painful, but meant to save. Many of us prefer the “gentle” side of His love but ignore the side that tells…

GROW Model | Getting Into The Love of God: The Love That Doesn’t Make Sense

God’s love often looks irrational by human standards. He pursues people who betray Him, forgives enemies who spit in His face, and keeps giving when it seems foolish to do so. This isn’t a “safe” love; it’s reckless, scandalous, and disruptive. If we’re honest, it unsettles us because it refuses…
