Our apologies - we posted an older recording on this topic. This is the updated recording. "Real relationships, real community, is always costly. Now it's worth it, but it costs. It costs me to die to myself and to put another person's needs in front of my own." Some people say that "dying is a part of living." Not only will we eventually die, we'll encounter death throughout our lives. In this episode, https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) talk about the impact of Kobe Bryant's death. Listen to some of their insights in this discussion.
