In a world full of division—political, racial, economic, and theological—Heather and Mark offer timely insights for the church. Drawing from the life and teachings of Jesus, they challenge leaders to confront the societal and theological divides mirrored in our congregations. Through a combination of scriptural truth and practical wisdom, they call us to embody Jesus’ John 17 prayer for unity and think creatively about how to bring people together in a fractured world. Join us to explore how church leaders can guide their communities toward oneness and lead by example in pushing tables together for the sake of the gospel.
