Looking for community? Trying to find your people? We long for community because God made us that way. Unfortunately, sin and our culture’s devotion to personal autonomy keep us from enjoying the life-in-community God intended. But there’s a solution. Through the gospel, God has created a new community, the church. And, through the gospel, we can break free from our addiction to personal autonomy and start enjoying the greater freedom of living life together. In this episode we dive into the beauty, birth, necessity, cost, and power, of God’s new community, the church.

To many people, marriage is just a piece of paper. Who needs a license to love? In this follow-up episode to PP173, we discuss why such thinking is wrong. Wedding vows and the marriage covenant are not obstacles to passionate love, but the fertile ground in which it can survive and thrive. And even if we’ve strayed from God’s design for romantic relationship, there’s still hope, because the ultimate source of enduring love is none other than Jesus Christ.
