Craiglist Jow

      Craiglist Joe is a documentary based on a man named Joe who decides to see if the United States still has a sense of community by finding places to stay, ways to travel, and food by only using Craiglist. This journey lasts one month and all Joe has to begin his 30 day adventure is his computer and a cell phone. The rules are that he is not to contact any friends or family and will not use any of his own money. These thirty days changed Joe's life as he got to meet different people, as he got to hear all of their stories, and as he was able to experience community. 

 This documentary reminded me that God wants us to live in community with each other. When we see someone in need we should help provide for their need. We should be giving and kind towards each other. It really broke my heart that someone needed to go on this extravagant journey to see if their is still a sense of community. Isn't this how I am suppose to be living? in community with believers and unbelievers?

People have had bad experiences walking into a church and feeling unwelcome and I am truly sorry. Our sense of community has become crippled and skewed because of our humanity. It is not the way it is suppose to be or the way God intended it to be. The sense of community portrayed on Craiglist Joe is how we should be living.
 Joe has inspired me to strive towards this sense of community so unbelievers can see the true community of Christ as He intended it to be.

If you have not seen this documentary I would highly recommend you watch it. It was life changing.
