Experiencing Authentic Community
May 29, 2010
Last Monday night 25Sense had our fourth gathering in the space of 9 days! In those four gatherings we have spent approximately eleven hours of focused time together. We have talked about everything from dirty jobs, sex and Jesus! We have eaten everything from donuts to hot pickled okra. After all that, what I see happening is that I think we are beginning to like each other and are finding that we can trust each other.
One expressed goal of this group is to provide a safe place where we can experience authentic community. In such a place we are finding that we can be transparent without fear of being judged, preached at or shunned. How is that working for you? Do you agree, disagree or have any suggestions? Talk about your experience.
