236 - Koinonia: What Happens When You Need Greek to Unlock Your Word of the Year

Okay, Lord, I get it. My stubborn insistence that I never need help is the opposite of koinonia.

Koinonia is a lighter way to live.

An easier way to breathe.

It takes the shape of rest–right in the middle of writing a book. Looks like a yes to relationship-building, which is wired in all of us, by God's design.

Every time you link arms, share a burden, trust a friend with your confession, unite in prayer, accept help, or make space around your table, a little light gets in under your shell. Your got-to-keep it together begins to erode. Your self-defeating assumptions are deflated. Your insecurities are dethroned.

But koinonia with God is where it begins. There's no sweeter fellowship than with God's son. No conversation more life-transforming than with the Word of God. No bond more true than you can have between God and you.
