Feeding Our Souls Living The Message

    • Christianity

What is so important about in-person community? Can online community accomplish the same thing?
In this conversation, Pastors Philip and Eric discuss what it means to feed our souls through community. The root of the word community is communion, which has a horizontal and vertical component. While we abide in Jesus vertically, we also connect with the Body of Christ horizontally. Our souls are starving not just for an abiding relationship with God but also for relationship with others.
Key questions from this episode include:
How do we feed our soul in community? (0:45) Is online community an acceptable replacement for in-person community? (5:06) Does the physical distance of online community affect our souls? (8:55) For those who feel that church isn’t a safe place for them to engage in relationships, what’s their path to healing? (14:40) For those who want to take a next step towards community, where should they start? (21:39) To learn more about our series, The Journey of a Lifetime, including a link to download the weekly devotional, visit https://www.moodychurch.org/journey.
