Podcast Notes:

5:30 [CARLOS] “A real community definition, in my opinion, I where people are able to be authentic with one another and are able to share things in common, But also share… victories. Maybe things that I’ve done well that perhaps you can learn from, and maybe things that you’ve done well that perhaps I can learn from.”

6:00 [CARLOS] “And so your experiences enrich me, and my experiences, I hope, will enrich you and so thats part of what community is…”

7:20 [CARLOS] “At times just because you’ve been really gifted at something in particular, that doesn’t mean that things will go smoothly.”

17:05 [CARLOS] “I would say, for us to be careful not to have a savior complex. We’re no ones savior, Christ is our savior. Often times, we fight with that. Wanting to help everyone and be there savior. And we handicap people when we do that.”

21:20 [CARLOS] “You have to be very careful that you’re not bearing your soul so quickly to somebody you just met or someone you don’t know very well… Not everybody has your best intrest in mind even in a community.”

27:65 [CARLOS] “Relising that God has forgiven me of so many things. I’m unworthy of His love, unworthy of Heaven. It should bring humility to our lives. In a sense of, awe…”

29:27 [ALYSSA] Being a good memeber of a community relies on, how you view others. Just a mutual respect for fact, You are human… I am human. I don’t need to know your struggles. You don’t needd ot know mine. But we’re both actievely pursuing the Lord.”
