Groundtable Part 2 "Is Community For Me?"

Welcome to the New Season of Groundtable 2025! We are kicking off this year with a brand new series "Is Community For Me?" Enjoy this episode- Part 2 of the convo!! 

Allowing ourselves to be known and loved by God and others creates space in our heart to be vulnerable with Him and our community. Knowing our emotions are God-given and they are indicators, but they are not dictators! God loves you, sees you, and desires the best outcome possible!

Brit shares a heavy moment with us when her prayer to God became, "Lord, I know in the deepest sense it's going to be okay, but I need you to hold my heart. Will you just hold me?" 

These are short episodes to strengthen your resolve to not do life alone. The word "community" seems to compel us or repel us. We seem to either run to or away from it.  Maybe we've never experienced healthy community or we've never experienced community period. Then, there's the last option. We've had an amazing experience and we will never stop seeking it for ourselves. Unfortunately the "amazing experience" seems few and far between for many. Brit and I talk about what it looks like and what it takes to create and cultivate authentic community and a heart posture towards inviting this into our lives. The truth is that it takes both of us to make it work. Community is preferring, loving, and trusting others while releasing unrealistic expectations of perfection to discover true connection.   It's hard to know where to begin! We pray our weekly conversations inspire you to pursue healthy community for the rest of your life. We truly can do and build life together when we decide this is an invitation to do so!
