The Sacred Us
In a world that celebrates individuality and autonomy, too many of us struggle to form deep, meaningful relationships. Loneliness is the norm, rich friendships are rare, and the church is no exception. We long for real community but often don’t know how to get there. What will it take to develop healthy friendships? The Bible gives us a compelling blueprint for community, but it must be built on more than shared interests or Sunday-morning smiles.
This book explores the substance of biblical community through seven principles:
Proximity that provides opportunity
Vulnerability that creates connection
Discipleship that sets direction
Fun that amplifies grace
Mission that drives adventure
Sacrifice that matures love
Boundaries that sustain growth
These principles seek to guide the reader beyond loneliness and isolation into a life of rootedness and connection.
