Isolation Feels Safe, But It’s Spiritually Dangerous

When you’ve been disappointed, betrayed, or misunderstood, community can feel like a risk. It’s easier to stay hidden, guarded, and “doing your own thing.” But God never designed you to heal, grow, or wait alone.

The enemy knows that if he can keep you isolated, he can keep you deceived.

You need people around you who will:

• Call out your blind spots

• Pray for you when you can’t

• Celebrate your growth

• Remind you of your standards when temptation speaks louder than truth

Accountability isn’t control—it’s protection.

You Don’t Need a Crowd—You Need Covenant

You’re not called to be friends with everyone, but you do need someone.

Someone who can say:

• “That DM isn’t wise—what’s going on?”

• “I’ve noticed you’ve been distant from God lately—let’s fast together.”

• “I love you too much to let you settle for less than God’s best.”

This isn’t about micromanaging each other—it’s about covering each other.

Your process is sacred. Share it with people who are committed to your becoming, not just your social media highlights.
