Building community with young families during the COVID spike
This is me zoomin’ with one of my favorite humans, Nathan Woodward. He really made this discussion sing.
There has never been more of a need for community and less of an ability to resist the effects of isolation than now.
If you are raising kids, single or married, times it by ten.
The current COVID spike that is impacting many countries including the US is impacting education, incomes, marriages and raising anxiety in pandemic proportions.
God has a remedy and a resource for this.
It’s called community. The experience of community with others and God is an insulation from hardship and and insurance against devastating losses.
People simply won’t let one of their own go down.
It is a simple reality that is not always easy to access. That’s why in this 37 minute Instagram Live, I wanted to explore some answers to 4 questions that need to be addressed if you or any young family, single parent or married, is going to tap into the emotional, relational and practical resources of community this new year.
These are the 4 questions explored in this Instagram Live:
Why is being in community even more important during a pandemic if you are a young family?
What is authentic community and what are its 4 ingredients?
If you are a young family (again with single or married parents), where does community start first?
What are some things young families can do right now to access it?
Feelin’ that? Click here and watch this Instagram Live as Nathan Woodward and I discuss these questions in depth. Share with your Next Gen teams to help them connect young families better and share it with young families you know who need some pathways to enter into more authentic community in the days ahead.
You will be more than glad you did.
