Whole Bible Believers

What does your circle look like? How are you building your group that pushes you closer to Jesus?

What I have noticed in my online study group is a lot of the ladies are noticing that it is easy to be real and raw and honest far away or when you know you will have limited interactions with someone then when you do life with them everyday. Most people don't live openly with their fellow church members or neighbors and that is what hinders us from having these relationships. We allow the enemy to make us feel judged or ashamed for asking for help, or prayer, or support, or understanding when it comes to our walk. And because we don't ask, people think we have it together and then won't ask because they are intimidated. In the last three years since having this online network of amazing sold out, on fire for Jesus ladies and trying to figure out why I couldn't have that in person I have also noticed that it is also because people like to label themselves or others (I'm ______ whatever denomination, or I go to ______ whatever church and all it does is separate or isolate us from each other. The body is diverse for a reason, our gifting are not all the same! Our brothers and sisters in other congregations have a lot to offer the body of believers collectively but we have to be willing to look past those "labels" and see the spirit operating in them. We are called to edify and love all our brothers and sisters not just the ones in the four walls of our church buildings! Don't be afraid to look for your circle outside your four walls but get to know the ones inside those walls too...they might surprise you! (Just my thoughts)
