Don't Wait to Build Community
Summary
Isolation is a tactic of the enemy, and the beginning of true faith is acknowledging "I ain't got this." This is supported by Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, recognizing spiritual poverty. The practical takeaway is to actively cultivate a "band of brothers" or "mat carriers" who will support you when you are on the mat, emphasizing that true Christian community is built proactively, like a retirement account.
