Core 8: Building Community
By nature of the lives we lead and the world we live in, we share common pain. This pain is not unique to our age or location but is common to all people everywhere and for all time. If not handled properly, pain can cause spiritual, emotional and relational struggle. Very often, people live their lives limping from pain not suitably cared for. Furthermore, God intends for us to find support for our pain in a receptive community. This course intends to build a community that understands eight sources of pain and how to support healing in ourselves and others.
