After Jackie brought up Andy Stanley’s latest leadership wisdom we had to pursue this topic further.

There are many benefits a community experiences because of the loyalty of its members: longevity, support, camaraderie, and more.

This continues to be a super engaging topic!

Monthly Topic: LOYALTY

This topic continues to fascinate us! In this episode, we wonder especially if you can be loyal to a person, but not loyal to that person’s opinions/ideas/values? It so interesting *especially* in this political climate, but really any time we disagree with someone we love.

Monthly Topic: LOYALTY

In today’s episode we struggle with the concept of blind loyalty in faith, compared to the benefits of faith practices. We work through which aspects of faith and values to hold on to tightly, and which we can hold loosely. In zero instances must we live in fear that our faith is a house of cards, and cannot survive healthy questioning and critical thinking.
