Tunnel Mountain Community Church is great place to hang out, make friends, and encourage one another.

If we aren’t willing to open up our lives to others we will never experience true community. This is why mutual confession builds community. We come to the table with our strengths and our weakenesses and we lay ourselves bare, exposed to the scrutiny and more importantly the love, acceptance and forgiveness of others. This doesn’t happen overnight nor should it.

It needs to be a progressive deepening. People who lay themselves bare at a first encounter scare me. There is something unhealthy in over-exposure especially as a first approach. These things take time and discernment to know how much to share and when. Mistakes will made. Over-hiding and over-exposure will happen. There can be no set rule for such things. But if we expect to gain community and constantly flee vulnerability we will never have it.
