Tying Knots that Bond Forever
Have you ever tied a pair of shoes? When tied properly, the laces form "LOOPS" that HOLD the shoes SECURELY on your FEET. Friendship is like that pair of shoes. Relationships are the shoes worn on the Foundation (feet) and those shoes have to FiT properly, be maintained and securely positioned in order to properly anchor the Foundation. Learning to tie KNOTS or LOOPS™ with the LACES that secure the Shoes, guarantee the SHOES last and accomplish what they were designed to accomplish, which is; "PROTECT the Foundation."
Once a person learns the fundamental ingredient
of Friendship, they are prepared to lay their Foundation, and they
can then anchor that Foundation by tying the proper LOOPS.
LOOPS learned here, to maintain those lifelong bonds.
To have "friends" one must show themselves friendly. The issue many have with this statement is that most people do not know how to be or become good, loyal friends. They simply haven't seen this practice modeled before them growing up and frankly, haven't been privied to many adult scenarios of successful friendships. That's why we want to take this time to talk to you about one of our key 40 Point Outreaches on "The Tree Of Light" that's a part of our ever growing, very impactful, "GO Initiative." This Outreach is important because it addresses a pressing social need that affects the way society interract with one another.
Our Founder, moved by God, saw a need relative to relationship and God delivered a Six Point Program that address the reasons why people cannot attract friends, keep friends or engage successfully with friends. Pastor Dan went on to develop, "LOOPS." LOOPS™ is a simple, intuitive and effective tool that teach basic life principles coupled with core values, that are necessary to maintain healthy bonds. It's a Practical Partnering Pathway™ (PPP™). A "Friendship 101" course if you will, teaching; the skills, aptitude and function that bridge the subsequent gap leading to "frenemy" development. This development, my friend, is; when a relationship bring more benefits to one-side while harboring resentment and anger from the other.
This comprehensive Six Point Course teaches people the expectation of friendship, how to attract friends, how to be friends, how to spot impending trouble and how to S.E.L.E.C.T. friends through simple and respectful vetting practices that people can do while engaging without the vetted even knowing they're being vetted. LOOPS™ forge bonds that tie lifelong knots between people, secured through compassion, sacrifice and compromise. We call this process of "tying", the LOOPING or adjustment phase. When LOOPS are formed, there are always opportunities to adjust the comfort and security levels. The tightening or loosening of the laces, sorta speak. This is when you practice or apply what you learned in your LOOP classes. When LOOPING, both parties discover whether or not those laces are sufficient to secure the bond or if they may need to match a different lace to the shoe to ensure the right FiT. Not all people you meet or even like are the perfect FiT for friendship. Everyone isn't intended to be your friends. That's why the Bible says, "to have friends, one must show themselves friendly." This isn't referring to a person putting on a show to land the friendship. Nooooo! This scripture verse is letting you know that who you are, how you live and your true essence, character and integrity aligns with that of equal yoke and bonds, formed based on those commonalities.
What makes LOOPS™ so effective is the attention spent on biblical principles, tenants and core values designed to take fellowship to an inclusive Partnership that encourages collaborative effort from all parties involved. It erases the the burden and unyoked stresses that come with unrealistic expectations that certain people cannot meet based on how they were raised or the model they received. Everyone isn't meant to connect with everyone! There are people who were designed just to match your unique quirkiness. As a matter of fact, some may even become your f8thBUD™ and the two, become one. These type of relationships do exist and are possible from every person breathing. Yes, I know your experiences with relationships did not lead you to believe that you were built for friendship, but you are. Just a couple of tweaks here and there and you're ready in no time to meet and connect with the person designed to be your friend.
LOOPS™ doesn't take long to grasp, either. The course is free and it extends a total of eight weeks. Every participant will receive a certificate of completion and free membership to a matching f8thGROUP that your LOOPCoach™ will recommend based on your profile and classification code.
Here are the Six Points of "LOOPING"...
1. Sacrifice
2. Empathy
3. Love
4. Encouragement
5. Compassion
6. Trust
These Six Points form the acronym, S.E.L.E.C.T. and is the basis for helping LOOPERS™ identify, connect and LOOP the unique bond they deserve to have, enjoy and grow, with others.
Once a person completes the course and takes their final test, their LOOPCoach™ will tabulate their participation, presence, preliminaries, preference, and personality to arrive at the student's classification code. This code is used to suggest matches one can LOOP with to determine their FiT with others.
