It seems God is up to something in this "Spring of My Soul" thing. Rachelle and I need a place to give and receive together. We've done many Bible studies through the years, some together, many just the two of us, many her or I 'faciltating' one. You know what I mean. We're both currently in a men's and women's small groups.
But this is different and yet it's not. I'm very concerned with the lack of small group community present in the lives of our band members. Most are not involved in one, beyond our rehearsals. The worship band is a place to begin and to serve, not the end of community and intimacy with God. So part of this is trying to model the right stuff.
But it's more than that. It's also about Rachelle and I doing this together. As our schedules keep getting crazier, children, work, stuff, we need a place to come together with other couples and be real together.
And there's more. We also need to pass this on. Not marriage stuff alone, but this God missional thing. We want to pastor, challenge, be challenged together, and read the Bible together, pray, and serve.
It's basically a small group for couples. We need to start one.
