Patrick and Ryan return to Between the Lines to explore the Good Way intention of active participation in the family of Jesus. They reflect on how Jesus redefines family around those who delight in doing the Father’s will (7:35) and how true community values unity over uniformity (14:50). The pastors discuss the beauty and difficulty of belonging—embracing conflict, reconciliation, and shared burdens as the work of love (25:40)—and share personal practices like hospitality, generosity, and opening one’s home to others (49:10). They close with a call to move from consumption to contribution in the life of the church and recommend Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Life Together as further reading (1:06:30).

Hosts: Patrick Boatwright and Ryan Diaz
