Next Steps: Connecting with God and Others

Connecting with God is not a once-and-done achievement, nor an occasional visitation. Rather, it is to be continually connected with the creator and lover of your soul.

Key Takeaways:

#1: We need continual connection to God. 

Our connection with God is not a one-time event. It’s a lifelong journey of transformation that is ultimately rooted and made perfect in God’s grace.

#2: Continual connection to one another is not optional. 

We can’t define our relationship with Jesus in a way He never intended. God uses the illustration of the body for a reason. We need one another.

#3: If we want to grow, we have to embrace vulnerability.

Despite the challenges and potential for messiness in relationships, it's essential to open up, be authentic, and allow God to work through the imperfections for personal and communal growth.
