Who is coming alongside you on your journey? Do others know you’re on their journey with them? 

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Zac discuss: 

• Finding God’s grace in the hard seasons of life. 
• Connecting with your community. 
• Fighting the shadows of anxiety and depression with God and others.
• We need PEOPLE in our lives. 

Key Takeaways: 

• Journaling allows you to look back and see God’s hand in your life and heart throughout the years. 
• Books can inform, but the Bible is what transforms. 
• People admire strength, but they connect with weaknesses and vulnerabilities. 
• PEOPLE - Prioritizing people, empathizing with people, observing needs and responding with compassion, praying for and with people, loving people, and encouraging people. 

"People need to feel connected. They need to feel like they belong. They need to feel like someone's got their back, someone's in their corner." —  Zac Bauermaster
