How does reconciliation relate to worship? As we unpack this topic using the scriptures, it becomes evident that reconciliation is a priority in the type of life that God desires. Reconciliation has the power to bring people together and heal divisions, but as we will see it also liberates the heart and leads to joy…even as it challenges us to grow!

This week we dive deeper into the second foundational concept of the narrow path that leads to joy. It comes from Jesus’ question, “What more are you doing than others?” Is there a way that doing more than others, and doing more for others, would actually enhance our own joy? If so, how? What would that look like in everyday life? To reflect on this question adequately, we will evaluate it through three key demographics – the culture around us, our own lives personally, and the community of faith known as the Church. This topic, along with last episode’s command to “be separate,” will be the two lenses by which we view our ability to find joy along the narrow path that leads to life.

Join us as we dive into the first foundational concept of the narrow path that leads to joy. What does the command to “be separate” actually mean? Is it a physical separation, a spiritual separation, or a separation of virtue and character? How can we live out this command in a way that still embraces the command to “go and make disciples of all nations”? This episode will evaluate this tension in a way that looks at the greater context of scripture and challenges us out of our comfort zones.
