"It is healthier to eat a twinkie in a group setting than broccoli by yourself."
The topic of community has been on my mind for a while now. It is probably a selfish motive but I am realizing that community is something that is extremely important to the health and morale of every individual. It is true that some people cope with aloneness much better than others but the truth is we all need people to love us, encourage us, fight with us, play with us, argue with us, cry with us, laugh with us, and experience life with us.
My heart has been extra heavy and sensitive lately for people that I see on a weekly basis that are struggling with this very thing.
How does the church help out?
Every church that I have been involved with in my life, I have witnessed the challenge and struggles of the church trying to reach to the young adult singles.
Life out of college is a constant struggle for graduates to find community. I have also experienced it for myself.
Lately this has been my holy discontent. If I knew how to solve this problem, I would. But I dont. But I dont want to just give up.
I understand that bigger cities have a wider variety of options, but I question is, what can the church do?
If you have experienced this or have any ideas, I would love to hear your ideas.
