In a world dominated by texts, emails, and digital distance, the apostle John reminds us that some things can’t be communicated from afar. As he closes 2 and 3 John, he expresses a desire to be face to face, “so that our joy may be complete.”

In this episode of The Table, we explore why presence still matters and what it looks like to trade impersonal connection for in-person relationships that shape joy, unity, and Christian community.
