We have become experts at self-checkout living by trying to get the groceries without the people and the products without the person. But while you can self-checkout your supplies, you cannot self-checkout your soul. In this opening message of our Connected Life series, we look at the ancient practice of Koinonia in Acts 2 to discover why the only thing more expensive than community is an isolated soul. Real connection is not built on what you do or where you live. It is built on who you know. We explore the clinical dangers of loneliness and the spiritual necessity of face to face relationships in a pixel to pixel world. It is time to stop paying for your privacy with your joy and start investing in the Christ centered community you were created for.
