Define the Relationship: You Choose (Week 3)

An invitation arrives with your name on it. Someone wanted you there. And at the bottom, a little box: RSVP, respond, please. Here’s the thing about that box: it doesn’t fill itself in, and not replying is also a reply. This week we introduce some shared language for the journey from stranger to family - five stages you already know instinctively - and meet a woman named Ruth, who was released from every obligation and chose the deepest reply anyone has ever given: your people will be my people. The depth of community you experience is determined by the depth of community you choose. So - where are you, honestly? And what’s your next step?
