Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk on Cultivating Catalytic Relationships

In this week's episode, Larry Kreider and Merle Shenk highlight the powerful impact of catalytic relationships, demonstrating how God uses these relationships to achieve more than you ever thought possible. With practical life stories and biblical examples, Larry and Merle encourage you to identify, value, and invest in those called to walk together with you in your life and ministry.

Quotable Quotes:

• "You can do more together than you can do by yourself."
• “Don’t do it alone. Find others who have the same heart and same call that you have and together you can do so much more."

Highlights:

• Luke 10 
• Matthew 18:20
• When you find a catalytic relationship, pay special attention, and make room for it, as this can cause an environment where God can move supernaturally in special ways.
• Don’t overlook the key people God will add to your life to help you along the way. Take time to cultivate these relationships.
• We often think that people should and will think like us, but usually the people that God connects us with are those who have gifts and callings that are different to our own. 
• Catalytic relationships can provide invaluable support during challenging times, as they involve knowing and understanding one another on a personal level. By praying together, opening up and sharing your vulnerabilities, these relationships can help you navigate and overcome difficult situations.
