This episode will drop on Christmas day. We did not plan it this way, but it seems appropriate and Spirit-led that this episode is titled "The Goal of the Gathering!" CGU is all about relational unity, finding our common ground in the person of Jesus rather than solely on the perfection of our doctrine or practice. During this Christmas season we ask you to grab a cup of coffee, other beverage, or to break bread together and cherish the formation of Christ in the other! God bless and Merry Christmas!

Tina Bruner hosts having a conversation with some of the members of the San Diego CGU Gathering about how their gathering began, their experience along the way, and tips for forming a successful gathering.

Kevin talks with Rudy and Fate Hagood who are physical brother and brothers in Christ serving in two different streams of the Stone-Campbell Movement. Unity is assumed as they are brothers and it should be likewise in the Kingdom of our Lord. Rudy and Fate call us to have ears to hear as we they discuss racial unity or as Rudy prefers, racial integrity. This was such a great conversation that we made it into two episodes.
