From Comparison to Celebration | Micah Eldridge

Though we have more ways to connect with others than ever before, our world is increasingly becoming our more relationally broken. People are experiencing more loneliness, more conflict and less satisfaction in their relationships. This series will help us recover a Biblical view of community and inspire us to do the work to cultivate meaningful relationships all around us.

The spiritual practice of celebration might not be one of the first practices that comes to our minds when we think about becoming more like Jesus for the good of others, but maybe it should be!

When it comes to our relationships, we’re often quicker to cancel than confess. But, this tendency to posture, protect and preserve often keeps us from walking in the fullness and freedom that confession invites into our lives.

In a culture drowning in isolation and steeped in division, neighboring may be one of the most healing and hope-filled practices we can offer the world.
