Choose Community Wisely — It Matters More Than You Think

Just last week, I was rinsing off a bunch of grapes when I noticed one had gone bad. As I inspected the others, I realized that the grapes closest to the rotten one had also started to spoil. Even though I had only intended to toss one, I ended up throwing away several.

That moment reminded me how much proximity matters—and not just with fruit.

The same is true with our relationships. While we don’t choose the family we're born into, we do have the power to choose the people we surround ourselves with. The company you keep can either nourish your growth or slowly diminish it.

Scripture tells us, “Iron sharpens iron” (Proverbs 27:17), and that's a reminder to stay in community with those who encourage you, challenge you, and hold you accountable to your highest self. On the flip side, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Choosing wisely isn’t just a good idea—it’s biblical wisdom.
