“We just naturally, humanly drift apart, 
unless we come together.”

2
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:16,700
Jill Savage’s words point out a negative 
tendency of human nature:

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,800
we focus on differences rather than purposeful 
unity.

4
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:27,700
Yet studies in Zimbabwe show relationships 
are exactly what we need for growth and healing.

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:33,000
They’ve started to use “Friendship Benches” 
as a treatment for the mentally ill.

6
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:39,000
People dealing with depression can sit on 
a park bench and talk with a trained community 
member.

7
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:45,600
Research proves this purposeful community 
restores mental health better than traditional 
methods.

8
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:50,500
So today I want you to remember this: Value 
your relationships,

9
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,600
and they’ll bring value back to you. I’m
