Listen "Searching For … Community"
Episode Synopsis
Community
What if the reason you feel disconnected isn’t because God is far away—but because you’re surrounded by a crowd, not planted in a community? This week, we’re talking about how the enemy doesn’t create—he counterfeits. And one of his most convincing counterfeits is false community. From gangs to social media echo chambers, the enemy offers connection without depth, loyalty without truth, and belonging without transformation. But God designed you for real, life-giving community—with Him and with others. We’ll explore how Jesus modeled both solitude and togetherness, how isolation can quietly erode your soul, and how Palm Sunday shows the difference between crowd hype and covenant relationships. If you’ve been searching for connection, this is the episode for you.

Read Proverbs 18:1 What does this verse reveal about the dangers of isolation, even when it seems like a personal preference?
Read 1 John 4:11-12 What role does community play in helping us understand and reflect God’s love?
Jesus Vertical Model Jesus regularly withdrew for solitude (Luke 5:16), but never disconnected from people. How can we build a healthy rhythm of personal time with God and meaningful relationships with others?
Danger of Isolation Isolation isn’t always chosen—it can come through grief, shame, busyness, or burnout. Have you ever been in a season of isolation? What helped pull you out?
Are you planning on being a part of Good Friday service and Easter Sunday? What are you hoping for spiritually over this holiday season? Have you ever thought about Easter in this way?
