Our Village
I’m often asked, “What does a Village (an Adullam Community) really look like? While this is a big question that we attempt to answer in the Tangible Kingdom by describing how we integrate communion, community, and mission – Below are a few things that we’ve experienced lately:
- Our Village is the people we can call in the middle of the night, and relied on to watch our daughter for two days while my wife was in the hospital delivering our second baby.
- Our Village makes decisions about where to buy their homes based on proximity to each other.
- Our Village is the people we ask to give advice when we’re making our biggest life decisions.
- Our Village spends time with each other beyond our normal meeting times.
- Our Village is the people we party with during holidays, vacations, and special occasions (Super Bowl, BCS, and World Series).
- Our kids can’t wait for our Village so they can see their friends, and our 2 year old knows all the adults by name.
- When people in our Village call – we always pick up.
- Our Village blends conversations about everyday life and God naturally.
- Our Village is basically our extended family in Colorado.
That’s doing life together and it’s beautiful! I want that.
