Additional Content & Notes:

3 Levels of H.O.T. Communication:
Every relationship has a “journey” to take and “purpose” to fulfill, and communication is the key to getting it there.

• Level I – Basic conversation and understanding of each other that lead you to the altar (“I Do”)
• Level II – Specific conversations that keep you connected (“I Love You”)
• Level III – Intimate conversations that keep you committed to each other (“I Am With You Through It All”)

H.O.T. Conversation Takes:

• Vulnerability
• Trust
• Forgiveness
• Patience
• Humility

Overcoming Through H.O.T. Conversations:

1. Practice— Start with something small that you can be honest, open, and transparent about.
2. Recognize Fear's Presence— Fear of rejection, abandonment, or loss; is a tactic of the enemy
3. Pray & Acknowledge God— Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide your tongue, providing a strategy for communicating wisely.
4. Choose a Time— Give a heads-up to schedule an appropriate time.
5. Choose a Place— Set an environment conducive to having hard conversations.

Bible Truth:

• Zechariah 8, Verses 16-17 - "But this is what you are to do: Speak the truth in love to each other. Render true and sound judgments that lead to peace in your gates. Don’t plot evil against each other, and stop your love of telling lies that you swear are the truth. I hate all these things, declares the Lord.”
