Series: Why We're Here

Topic: Vision

Studies show that when you embrace someone, your brain releases a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin plays an important role in bonding, trust and emotional connection. In other words, when you embrace someone, you’re saying to the other person:

  • I see you.
  • I accept you.
  • You matter.

That’s the power of embrace. But at Cornerstone, embrace is more than just connecting with others, it’s also a reminder of who we are.
