Is the body just a helpful analogy of how the church functions together or is it more than that? Is it expressing something more real? And if that is true, is the connection between baptism and membership more important than we may think?

This episode dives into the account of the first church as portrayed in Acts 2 and asks if, and how, their way of being the church applies to us. Whether that makes you nervous about what’s coming in this episode or eager to hear more, you’ll find a range of potential applications of the early church model and plenty of things to think about.

In the second part of the question of why it is important to talk about community, hosts Jesse and Andrew focus more tightly on anabaptist communities specifically. Community is universal to the church—something the church the world over is grappling with. However, it has been particularly important to anabaptists historically.

Join Jesse and Andrew as they interview Layton Friesen, Stuart Murray, Meghan Larissa Good and Steve Bell on why community is worth talking about.
