Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. In this episode, Elder Bob Haymes explores how spiritual formation happens most deeply in community, as we learn to become like Jesus together.

Drawing from key New Testament passages—including Galatians 2:11–14, where Paul publicly confronts Peter—we see that even mature leaders need loving accountability, truth-telling, and community shaped by the gospel. Formation isn’t just about private devotion; it’s about shared life, mutual correction, and walking in step with the Spirit together.

This conversation invites us to reflect on:

• Why community is essential to becoming like Jesus
• How the gospel reshapes our relationships across differences
• What loving confrontation looks like in a healthy church
• How humility and truth help us grow into Christlikeness

Whether you’re deeply rooted in community or longing for it, this episode calls us to resist isolation and embrace the kind of shared life that forms us into the people of Jesus.
