My excuses for not doing Life groups were: too early in the morning, too far away, dont know those other guys very well and it could be awkward. Not real comfortable talking about my faith with other people. This would be out of my comfort zone and I LIKE my comfort zone. I recognized if I want to grow in my faith and fill my need for REAL connection with people that share my beliefs I need to join this group and give it a try. It surpassed what I had hoped and helped me realize how similar our life struggles are. Having a group of Christian men to talk to about my problems and being vulnerable enough to allow them to help me AND for me to try and help others with something they may be going through was/is priceless. The hardest part about the Life Group was making the decision to sign up for it. The rest was easy and life changing.
