The power of community in trials

We were made for community, in the image of our trinitarian God. But that community was broken in Eden.

We see examples of that brokenness woven throughout the entire Bible. We can even see examples woven into the fabric of our own lives now: natural disasters and man-made disasters march hand-in-hand destroying our world, and on a smaller scale we can, no doubt, think of brokenness we've experienced. It can feel utterly hopeless.

I want to take a wee minute to share part of my story, showing how the seemingly ordinary idea of community can be a foundation for engaging with non-Christians about our faith, as well as hope-building for discouraged Christians.
