“Kindred Purpose. Healthy communities are about something—not just getting together to get together. Dave’s community exists to become people of greater integrity in living out their faith in all aspects of their lives. Bill’s community gathers to support one another in becoming better fathers and more authentic men. The most effective communities have an explicit mission that keeps them directed and moving. It’s just much easier to keep moving if you’re moving toward something. Both Bill’s and Dave’s communities veer into all manner of other stuff—social activities, recreational events, and the like—but there is always that North Star pulling them back to “why we’re here.”” (Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, Designing Your Life)
