Just got back from a couple of days with our Connect Group which is a small group of pastors (lead pastors, church planters, and staff pastors). We get together several times a year for 2-3 days each time. We spend time hanging out, usually catch a movie, swap resources, ideas, and recommend good books. It has developed into a group that can be very vulnerable, honest, and transparent with each other, and we always spend a few hours sharing about our struggles, needs, requests, and victories.
It is often difficult to carve out time for these gatherings because we are all busy, but I would not miss them for the world. Our group is a great example of the power of connection. Because we are deeply connected to one another, we are able to encourage those who are struggling or going through a difficult time as well as celebrate the victories and successes together. Each time we meet I am able to see the scripture "as iron sharpens iron" lived out. I always come away with a new idea, book, website, or video that is just what I needed.
