Being in Christian community definitely has its challenges. Living as the body of Christ means bumping alongside each other.

Sometimes that causes friction!

It seems to me that this friction is at the heart of everything we are trying to do in building community.

Reacting under stress

However, friction doesn’t always bring out the best in us. We can get stressed, see it as a threat and our threat response can take over.

Community building at its best means leaning into all. that happens when we seek to live together.
