Humans were created for connection, intimate connection with God, Self and Others.  Without these essential human biological needs being met (the need for bonding, connection, intimacy) we experience relational pain and move in to loneliness.  And it is not good for mankind to be alone.  I know!  I grew up this way.  Dr. Rick shares from a message he presented at Wellspring Church in Hartford, WI on the need for community, the essentialness of family, and that family is not necessarily one's bloodline or by marriage.  Using the araba word "asabiya" Dr. Rick explores a broader meaning of family and is essential for the church to understand.
