In this episode Cam and Stephanie discuss pseudo community and talk about what concessions are usually made to have pseudo community?
When we live in denial and put a mask on to be accepted then we believe that we have to continually live in a false identity to be accepted. To truly live as an authentic person we need to risk being truly known by others in a safe community. When each person lives this way it will lead to authentic community.
Looking at the 12 disciples we consider their relationships with each other. If Peter was part of a modern day small group he would probably have to go to sensitivity training and conflict resolution. As we wrap up we ask the question, what can we apply to our lives and relationships?
Thanks for elevating the attractiveness of living in authentic community. As you well know authentic community is easier to talk about than to live out! Your discussion on performance based Christianity reveals what is sadly more the norm among Christ followers. Authentic community as a safe place to follow Christ is the antidote to the snare of having to perform to just the right standard. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction!
