If we can shift from complaining and grumbling, this is going to shift the way people view us. I’ve found that people who talk about God the most are some of the most grumbling and complaining people. I might be to some degree, but I hope that I'm not one of them.

Imagine it’s five years from now, and the friends with whom you’ve done life are by your side. These are the girls and guys who know everything about you. You see them multiple times a week, and they are there for you through thick and thin. You're walking through life fully known and completely loved. And it's not always easy, but you're committed to each other. All of this begins with a vision.

“Everyone was rooted to the community and the church. There was transparency, accountability, fellowship, and joy. And you actually had to work out your problems with your neighbor instead of running away.”

When we lean into the way God has called us to live in the context of community, we find that we’re most full, satisfied, and closely able to walk with Him.
