Why We Want Community

In a world where isolation and individualism are on the rise, the longing for authentic community has never been stronger. But as many people discover, building true community isn’t always easy — it takes effort, vulnerability, and a commitment to love others well. In this episode of "Wisdom for the Wilderness," Pastors Josh and Zack dive into why community is so essential, especially within the context of the church. They explore the deep, biblical call to live and grow together as a body, and how the church can be a place where people not only belong but also thrive.

While joining a group is a great first step, Josh and Zack challenge us to go beyond just showing up. They encourage us to embrace the messy, sometimes uncomfortable work of loving one another — forgiving, serving, and building trust. Community doesn’t just happen on its own; it requires intentionality, grace, and a willingness to invest in the lives of others.

If you've been longing for a deeper connection with others in the church, or if you're unsure what it really takes to build a thriving community, this episode will give you the insights and practical encouragement you need to take that next step.
