Communication is the exchange of information, and the better we communicate, the closer we connect. Better communication leads to greater understanding, trust, and intimacy. PASHAT is the most basic and essential level of human communication. It is surface-level, literal, and factual—focused on plain meaning, history, data, and information. This level is especially powerful in initial conversations and everyday interactions. The key skill of PASHAT is asking good questions. The PASHAT Tool: F-O-R-M - Family - Occupation - Recreation - Message As you ask these questions, listen for S-I-G-N: - Strengths - Interests - Goals - Needs This information allows you to communicate with honor and purpose, answering:How can I serve you? How can I bless you? PASHAT Communication Growth Cycle 1. Identify your current communication habits 2. Research and learn from people who ask great questions 3. Refine your questions and listening skills 4. Practice F-O-R-M with at least two people daily 5. Acknowledge Results, express gratitude, and celebrate growth Then repeat the cycle regularly. Why This Matters When people feel heard and remembered, trust grows. Gathering and using information well allows you to: - Make better decisions - Communicate strategically - Serve people intentionally PASHAT communication is the foundation of all deeper communication. Mastering it opens the door to stronger relationships, meaningful connections, and the next level of communication.

Hi everyone! My name is Ellamae, and I live in Virginia. I’m here to work on strengthening my marriage with my husband, improving my health and finances, and becoming who God created me to be. I’m really excited to be part of this group to grow and improve my life. Some fun facts about me is for fun, I love going on adventures and discovering new places. Below is a little adventure my husband and I went on and we visited Parrot Island in Gatlinburg Tennessee. I am also very creative and love art, especially drawing. And something interesting about me is I love to decorate or design rooms.

Paul basically says: stop building your worth on the “resume.” Religious performance. Reputation. People’s approval. “Doing it right.” He had ALL of it… and then he drops the mic: “Whatever was gain to me, I count it as loss.” Why? Because the things he once leaned on for identity were actually keeping him from real freedom. Then he makes it personal: I don’t want a righteousness I build. I want the kind that comes from relationship. I want to know Him — not just know about Him. And knowing Him includes both: • resurrection power (life, victory, strength) • and the fellowship of suffering (the hard seasons that refine you) Then comes the part that feels like therapy AND discipleship: “Forgetting what is behind…” Not pretending it didn’t happen. Not erasing the past. But refusing to let it drive the future. And he admits something we all need to hear: “Not that I’ve already arrived…” He’s still in process… but he’s committed to the direction. Press on. Stay focused. Keep moving. Run your race. This is the blueprint: Stop rehearsing the old identity. Release the old “gains.” Let the past be a teacher, not a master. And pursue the life you were created for — on purpose. That’s maturity. That’s freedom. That’s Philippians 3. 💙 #epicyourlife #amishmatchmakers #single2married #goodword #deepdive
