Community is essential for survival and has an impact on our joy. When we have a small group of like-minded people, we experience the joy of answered prayer. The same holds true when we share our sorrows with others. When we find others who show us unconditional acceptance, we know we can rely on them when a crisis hits us. Gene reminds us in today’s episode that we were created to do life with others.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
