He identifies the dangers of loneliness, blindness, and hopelessness that arise when we do not engage in authentic relationships, emphasizing that we are inherently designed for connection. Pastor Scott explains that the power to cultivate such deep community stems from Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, which reconciles both our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationships with others.
