DAY 3 OF 4

We Need One Another

I recently heard a famous apologist say we need “more than Jesus.” But how many sermons do we hear, how many songs do we sing that actually say the exact opposite of that? But he said there are 59 “one another” statements in the New Testament. So it's love one another, care for one another, share your burdens with one another, don't pass judgment on one another. 

For entrepreneurs, we try to do so much on our own in this kind of counterintuitive approach. But what does it mean to have “one anothers” in our life as we journey through difficult moments in our marriages or in our businesses? And that goes both ways, the highlights too. 

One of the things that I often hear from executives who are clients of mine is that they don't really have many people to share some of the highlights of their life with. So they made X amount of money and most of their friends are completely jealous of them. 

The truth is that in our brokenness and in our celebration, we need one another. Those are two things to meditate on—the kindness of God and the sweetness of what it means to have one another in our lives.

About this Plan

The Entrepreneurial Community
