We spend a good portion of our lives wearing
masks, hiding what's below the surface, afraid of what others will say
or think if somehow they found out the “real truth.” And so
we build communities and relationships without authenticity... without
safety... without reality. We all know we're all imperfect, but what if
we were bold enough to embrace that... to risk living authentically?
Could we experience a richness of relationships never before imagined?
Could we experience community in a way that absolutely pales in
comparison to what we've called “community”? Yes. Will you
and I be bold, though, and risk everything on that?
We need to learn to disagree well, and laugh and spar together as we run after God's dream. - Shane Claiborne
