đź“Ś Episode 1 Summary:
In the kickoff to the series Building Relationships: Old and New, Danny shares how a backyard project—assembling a gazebo with countless pieces—turned into more than just construction. With the help of his father-in-law, step-daughter, and others, the project became a picture of how God designed us to live in community. Through Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, we’re reminded that asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s the foundation for building stronger bonds.
