A Few Key Ideas:

Why Tony felt that it was important to write a book titled, People Skills For Christians
Christians can be authentically born again and have salvation through Jesus Christ, but not have great people skills.
Sometimes God will change the desires of your heart - professionally, relationally, and emotionally.
Maybe the Bible is more practical to everyday living than we acknowledge.
Are we still at 6 degrees of separation or is it less now
Tony explains the primary way that new opportunities come to us from God
TWEETABLE: "Sometimes we make it difficult for God to bless us because the right people don't like us."
