Almost half of all Christians and pastors associate “unity” with “agreement.”

Almost half of all Christians say they experience unity in their friendships, but only about one-third say they experience unity with their church family. The data bears out what many feel: our local church families are not deeply unified. In fact, we find agreement, harmony, and alliance elsewhere.

How can we, as followers of Jesus—who gave his own life that we might be reconciled to the Father—be truly and deeply reconciled to and united with other believers?

On this episode we’re chatting with Capitol Hill Baptist Church pastor and 9Marks author Jamie Dunlop to talk about loving the ones who drive us crazy—something we all need to be ready to do with voting season on its way.
