Living in Real Community


This past week at Young Life College Late Nite, we had the honor of hearing from guest speaker, Matt Mooney, founder of 99 Balloons. To read more about this foundation, click here.

Matt shared briefly with us the importance of real community. We have an innate desire to be relational, to live in community. But often in this busy, independent world we isolate ourselves. Real, rich community is a choice. Proverbs 27:17 compares it to “iron sharpening iron.” It can be challenging and painful at times. But it is always full of joy and freedom. And it is good. When we live in community we are living life to the full.

As the semester picks up and you get busier and busier with your schedules, we want to encourage you to choose community that will strengthen, encourage, and sharpen you. And we hope that Young Life can be a place where you find that.
