Here’s an article I wrote that’s been published on X3Church, called:
“3 Reasons a Journey Is Never Better Alone.”
It’s about our need for tough accountability and joy-driven community so we can become the people we were meant to be, and how we live that journey together.
Here’s an excerpt:
“I can do it myself” is one the of the biggest lies we’ve perpetuated today.
It’s easy to get why: because we love independence. We’re threatened by losing our autonomy. The most triumphant modern narrative is, “I’m my own person and I call my own shots.” And certainly there’s great truth in valuing individuality.
But just as much as complete dependence on others is a dangerous trap: so complete independence is a romanticized fairy-tale.
No one is meant to do life alone.
Life alone isn’t life, but merely survival.
Life together is thriving, to truly be alive.
