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?

After looking at the beginning and at the end, we’re back to the centre of the gospel story—Jesus—born and raised with a human body like everyone else on earth. What does that fact—something that’s so basic it’s easy to overlook—mean for how we live as Jesus' followers? What does it mean for a believing community?

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.
