Relational Intelligence:
To Know and Be Known

John Ortberg
teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church



Think about it:
      Are you hiding?

Ask yourself:
      Are you afraid to be known?

Get this idea:
      You are created to know and be known.


The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Genesis 2:25


Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." Genesis 3:8-10

Moving to knowing and being known:

Level 1: ______________ communication.

Level 2: Everyday ___________________.

Level 3: Deep _________________ with a few trusted friends.


I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15
