Do you ever wonder if you need to hang out with other Christians? Maybe your beliefs don't exactly line up. Maybe you've struggled to feel like you fit in or belong. Those feelings are really common, but you can't just go through life alone. Having other Christians in your life is more important than we might realize.
Today's reading talks about making the choice to not give up meeting together and encouraging one another. When we choose to follow Jesus, we're also choosing to be part of a community of other people. We're joining this incredible mosaic of cultures, beliefs, and opinions while we all learn how to become more like Jesus.
So while we might want to take a step back from people and focus on ourselves, we have to remember our faith was meant to be lived out and practiced with others. When we spend time with other Christians, we can share our struggles and the ways we see God moving through us.
If you find yourself struggling to connect with other Christians, don't give up just yet. Keep pursuing godly relationships and be open to trying new things. This might be a great chance to talk with your youth pastor and leaders about how you've been struggling. Together, you might dream up a few ideas to help other teenagers with similar feelings build godly relationships. So remember, even when you feel like you want to step back from other Christians, God invites you to connect with community.

About this Plan
For the next four weeks, we'll take some time to explore how we can build rhythms that help us connect with God in new ways. We'll discover how to build a strong rhythm that can sustain us through whatever life brings our way. We'll look at how to create rhythms that help us spend time with God, use our gifts, share our stories, and spend time with others.
