We are one in Christ. Our unity is based on what we share in Christ, Jesus and who he is. And so that one truth about who Jesus is and our faith in him is really the one piece that, no matter what differences we may have, we have a unity that can't be broken because of our faith in Christ.
How can a church community thrive amidst diverse beliefs and backgrounds? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', Wes Thompson sits down with Phil Shimer to tackle this very question. Phil shares his insights on how faith in Christ can be a unifying force, helping to bridge differences and foster genuine connections within the church. He highlights the beauty that diversity brings to the body of Christ and encourages listeners to appreciate and learn from each other's unique perspectives.
The discussion also addresses the pitfalls of insularity and tribalism, urging a mission-driven approach to church life. Phil and Wes remind us that building a healthy church community requires gratitude, appreciation, and a commitment to serving others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to strengthen their church's sense of unity and purpose.
