You’ve heard: “No man is an island.”
But so often we act like it. It’s tempting to put a front to hide our faults. But community is built on people sharing their lives and that requires appropriate levels of vulnerability.
Men, we need each other. In life we face temptation, grief, failure, success, and more. Facing it alone is a disaster waiting to happen.
“What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”
Kurt Vonnegut
From day one, man was not meant to be alone.
Living courageously, freely, and simply as a Christ-following young man can be a lonely journey. Don’t let it be.
We need each other. Let’s get connected.
