Seeking Community Together

In this powerful exploration of Luke 10:1-11 and 16-20, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of success and independence. Jesus sends out 72 disciples in pairs, not as lone wolves, reminding us that our faith journey is inherently communal. The message dismantles the myth of the rugged individualist, using the example of Andrew Carnegie to show that even seemingly self-made success stories are built on networks of support. We're called to embrace interdependence, relying on each other and the communities we enter, just as the disciples were instructed to do. This scripture speaks directly to our modern struggles with isolation and rapid technological change, encouraging us to find strength in unity and mutual support. As we reflect on our nation's founding, we're reminded that true progress comes not from individual heroics but from diverse communities working together in faith and purpose. #Togetherness #Connection
