Key takeaways:

• Trustworthiness matters in those around you because other people can have such a profound influence on your character and morals. 
• Trustworthiness matters in you because, as a Christian, you are meant to model the character of God. The heart of God rests on trust and integrity.
• There are fifteen key traits that can reveal trustworthiness. These include consistency, compassion and humility, respect for boundaries, compromise, a relaxed manner that puts you at ease, honor of time, gratitude, truthfulness and transparency, vulnerable sharing, lack of materialism, often being right, avoidance of gossip, learning, intentional connection, and being there for others.
• Scripture shows that a lack of trustworthiness is common, such as in the stories of Delilah, Saul, and Absalom. As followers of Christ, we should strive to do better and hold our integrity.
