Wordle and the Importance of Community
It seems like everyone is playing Wordle these days. Why is it so popular? Brittany takes a look at how Wordle provided a sense of community for thousands around the world--something that many have been lacking since the pandemic started. Brittany also discusses why community is so important for people, as well as how the Christian community (i.e., the Church) is supposed to function as the ultimate, transcendent community through Jesus.
