Bay Area Christian Church Executive Minister Russ Ewell has a new op-ed published in Christian Daily — and it gets at something we talk about a lot here: the quiet cost of trying to navigate life without community.
The piece speaks directly to young men, but the diagnosis is broader than that. We’ve built a culture that equates independence with strength and asking for help with weakness. I push back on that, making the case that genuine strength is relational — that the courageous move is learning to lean on others rather than going it alone.
That conviction shapes how we try to build community at Bay Area Christian Church. Not just services to attend, but real relationships where people can drop their guard and actually be known.
