Matt Romano — Matt wraps up our series with a look at the sacred rhythm of community. Community, as we’ve seen, is a journey—a process that takes us from the enchantment of idealised connection, through the messy reality of disillusionment, and finally to the beauty of commitment.

To follow Jesus is to step into the paradox of community: it will be one of the most rewarding aspects of your discipleship, but also one of the most refining. It’s where you’ll experience the heights of love and connection, but also where your patience, humility, and grace will be stretched to their limits.

This is the sacred rhythm of community—a space where we are both shaped and sustained. So, how do we lean into this paradox and allow community to become not just something we participate in, but a transformative rhythm in our lives? Here are a few ways to think about what community is for us as a rhythm.
