In our highly individualistic and consumer-oriented culture, we've often reduced our spiritual life to be a solo enterprise. We pick our favorite podcasts, our favorite books, our favorite worship music, our favorite bible versions, and even the favorite kinds of people we like to hang out with that inform how we understand ourselves and God. But it's in the context of regular, committed relationships with other Christ-followers who think and see things very differently that we begin to understand ourselves and God in more fuller ways. We discover who we are and what God is calling us to in the context of community.
