The word vulnerability can stir up fear in many of us. And understandably so — to be vulnerable is to be exposed. It’s opening ourselves up to uncertainty, potential hurt, and even rejection. But vulnerability is so much more than just risk — it’s also the gateway to deeper connection, genuine love, and meaningful relationships.

In life’s most challenging seasons, the presence of a strong and supportive community can be one of the most powerful tools for healing and hope. We are not designed to go through life alone.
