Safe and Strong: Building Resilient Relationships with Humility and Curiosity

In this session, writer and speaker Jill McCormick explores what it means to be a safe person—someone who listens well, holds space for others, and approaches relationships with grace and intentionality.

Drawing from her own experiences with her husband, college friends, and Jesus, Jill unpacks the power of long-term commitment, forgiveness, and healthy boundaries in discipleship. She challenges the idea of discipleship as just a program, instead framing it as a way of life—one that requires intentionality but should never feel like a burden.

With practical wisdom, Jill shares how she balances deep relationships within a busy schedule, sharing simple tools to stay connected. Whether you’re mentoring, discipling, or simply seeking stronger relationships, this conversation will equip you to build connections that are both meaningful and sustainable.
