3. Clear a space for community

Remember that four-hour dinner? It only happened because I made room for it. I was at the big AACC conference, and my itinerary was tight, but I knew how valuable it would be for Jeff and me to spend time with a couple whose lives and ministries were something like ours.

If the pandemic taught us anything, it is that we were not made for isolation. Disconnection from others – even when we don’t realize we are disconnected – can result in higher risk of anxiety and all sorts of other mental and physical health issues. It doesn’t need to be that way! Let’s protect ourselves – and our children – by reconnecting with others in intentional ways. It will take some effort, but the rewards will far outweigh the costs.
