Echoing Trusted Friends

Humans are social creatures; we live in community. Our 3rd week pursuing spiritual discernment helps us learn how our communities direct us towards or against God’s will. Through spiritual friends in fellowship God guides us in a peaceful life together – with each other, surrounded by God the Father, Son & Holy Spirit (Divine community). Scripture is taken from Acts 2.
