Why We Had to Look Outside the Church to Grow and Heal
“I had once again become so busy caring for the household of God that I neglected the One who had called me there. If I still had plenty of energy for the work, that was because feeding others was still my food. As long as I fed them, I did not feel my hunger pains.”
BARBARA BROWN TAYLOR
For this conversation Alex and Michele will share about why they felt the need to look outside the church to meet their spiritual and emotional needs while serving and leading ministries for years. We invite you to hear their story and share your own experiences and perspectives on challenges of growing/healing in a community where you simultaneously give and receive.

Why We Are Starting a Church
“You can be happy alone. Happiness is the expansion of self. But joy is the merger of self. It happens when you forget where you end and something else begins, when you really are seeing deeply into each other.”
