The episode dives into the iconic and very challenging picture of community life portrayed in Acts 2. Whether that makes you nervous about what’s coming or eager, you’ll find a range of potential applications of the early church model and plenty of things to think about. As you might expect, some are quite radical but some may surprise you too.

This episode’s guests are Dr. Kara Mandryk, Travis and Rosey Zacharias, Steve Bell and Shane Claiborne.

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 it completely—mean for how we live as Jesus' followers? What does it mean for a believing community?

This episode’s guests, Dr. Stuart Murray, Dr. Betty Pries, Dr. Beth Stovell and Dr. Patrick Franklin consider what happens when we don’t understand that or get it wrong and what the impact on the community is when we comprehend the significance of Jesus having a body.

Having looked at the beginning, Jesse and Andrew now ask if you can find guidelines for community in Revelation. Does the plan, or design God has for things will end, provide insight about what our communities should look like?

Guests Dave Reimer, Dr. Kara Mandryk, Dr. Beth Stovell and Shane Claiborne approach the question from a range of viewpoints about what Revelation means for us now or even if it speaks to the question of community at all.
