Thank you for this. From the context of 'gathered church' I can see the strength in this, and agree wholeheartedly that we are stronger together. This is very much my personal experience too. The bigger challenge I find is remaining disciplined and connected (and finding strength in that connection) when we are scattered. It's one thing being a disciplined community when we are gathered, and have one another to help us, it's quite another, but just as important, being a disciplined community when we're scattered. I do believe this is possible and I have experienced this.
