Our culture has a way of focusing on individuals and privileging individual insight. In this sermon Melissa reflects on the ways that Truth is found in community. In a time when truth is increasingly under siege, how do we find our way to understanding the world in a truthful way? By building community while avoiding single stories, challenging our own ideas, and widening our experiences. Sometimes we fix the world by being in it, even enjoying it and the people we find here.
