The Trouble With Isolation

During tough times, it's tempting to isolate ourselves and think that we can handle our struggles better on our own. We may assume our friends have their problems to deal with and don’t need to be bothered with ours. In this reel, Chris and Taylor Bruin explain that community plays a vital role in our healing and growth. Engaging with others allows us to share our burdens, receive support, and gain different perspectives that can help us confront our challenges. A supportive community encourages us to work through our issues with a biblical approach.
