What one gift or skill do you have that could serve your church community this week? Who could you contact about using it?

This week, let’s become more intentional about recognizing and responding to the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives. Whether in moments of decision-making, times of prayer, or daily interactions with others, we can learn to rely more consciously on His guidance and power. The Spirit isn’t just an abstract concept or a distant force- He is God’s personal presence with us and in us, making the reality of Christ tangible in our everyday experience.

Hello everyone! My name is Donshea, and I’m the leader of this beautiful community 🤍 As this community continues to grow—and it’s growing daily—I want to make sure I’m showing up in ways that are truly beneficial to you. When I ask, “How can I better assist you?” one of the most common responses I receive is, “Hold me accountable.” I love that—and I’m fully on board. That brings me to an important question: What does accountability look like for you if there’s no response to posts or inbox messages? Accountability works best when it’s a two-way street. I’m here, present, and invested—I just want to make sure we’re meeting each other halfway so I can support you in the way you need most. Here are a few simple ways we can meet in the middle: • Respond to check-in posts, even if it’s short• Let me know your preferred way of being held accountable (comments, inbox, reminders, etc.) • Communicate when life gets busy instead of going silent •Engage with the community so accountability doesn’t feel one-sided My goal is not to pressure anyone—it’s to support you, encourage you, and help you follow through on the goals you’ve set for yourself. Let’s build accountability that actually works for all of us 🤍 Comment below and tell me how you want to be held accountable and how often you’re willing to check in. Let’s get clear so I can support you properly. Thanks again

Paul’s metaphor of the church as a body (1 Corinthians 12:12-14) revolutionizes how we view both unity and diversity in the church. Like a physical body, each part is different yet essential, independent yet interconnected. This image confronts both our tendency toward individualism (“I don’t need the church”)and our pressure toward uniformity(“everyone should serve like I do”). In God’s design, diversity strengthens rather than threatens unity.
