Trust is found in every bond of life – in marriage, on the job, or in friendships. But to run the risk of trust is to run the risk of betrayal. Everyone has been the victim of trusting the wrong person at least once in their lives. Because we live in a fallen world, trust will be broken. But the hopeful news is that it can be mended. Dr. Henry Cloud unpacks the 5 essentials of trust: understanding, motive, ability, character, and track record. He will also look at the different fears that keep people from trusting. When trust has been broken, rebuilding it takes time, and Cloud shares several signs that a person can look for to help reassure them of another’s trustworthiness.
