Connection & Community

The wisest man other than Jesus to walk the planet was likely Solomon. And of all the things he investigated under the sun, one of them was connection and community. He discovered we cannot live this life alone, but are best positioned to flourish in the company of other souls—to know, and be known. Truly known, in relationships. Below are a few opportunities for such connection and community. Maybe you’ll prayerfully create more. May Solomon’s words inspire us as we pursue this pathway to growth.

“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble…A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,12
