Community and Relationships

In the chaos of your twenties, it can be tempting to search for security and significance in a relationship. You might believe the lie that once you find “your person” your life will become stable. The truth is that our stability comes from Christ alone; he is our sure foundation in every shifting time.

When it comes to dating, it would do us well to see it as an avenue toward getting to know God’s people.

Finding community can be just as arduous a journey as finding Nemo. Especially if you forget people’s names like Dory or cling to your comfort zone like Marlin. Movie metaphors aside, finding community when you’re in a new place requires genuine commitment to the journey. 

I’ve noticed a sometimes frustrating theme in my life: most people are different than me and act differently than I do.
