FILM WEBSITE: https://thattheymaybeonefilm.com/ Fr. Michael and Fr. Christopher welcome Adriana Gonzalez back to The Normal Christian Life to discuss her new docudrama on Christian unity, That They May Be One. The film uses documentary storytelling and dramatic reenactments to trace a historical thread from Pentecost through 20th-century outpourings of the Holy Spirit, including figures such as St. Elena Guerra and Agnes Osman, with contributors including Francis Chan, Randy Clark, Mary Healy, and Cardinal Cantalamessa. In this conversation, Adriana shares the vision behind the film and explains why Christian unity is central to Jesus' prayer in John 17. She also reflects on her childhood experiences in Charismatic Renewal prayer meetings, her own “personal Pentecost,” and the connection between revival, baptism in the Holy Spirit, and unity in the Body of Christ. The discussion also explores receptive ecumenism, unity vs. uniformity, doctrine, evangelization, and how the Holy Spirit draws believers into deeper communion and mission.

Pastor Sam         1 Corinthians 3:5 - 4:21

In this episode, the Micah Mobilizers discuss two kinds of unity Christians are being called to at this moment. On one hand, U.S. leaders are calling on the church to support unchecked military power. On the other hand, Christians are calling on the church to lay down our denominational differences and come together to proclaim plainly the message of Christ—a message of love, justice, and humble walking before the Lord. So the question is: which unity are we participating in—by what we are doing, and by what we fail to do? 

Pastor Sam     1 Corinthians 1:17 - 2:26

John Martignoni discusses Christ's prayer for Christian Unity at the Last Supper, Fr Tad Pacholczyk explores some of the science around organ donation, and Mother Mary Joseph on the beauty of Vocations.

Palm Sunday reveals a choice: follow the crowd or follow King Jesus. This message invites us to build unlikely relationships and become agents of reconciliation in a divided world.

We have more denominations today than ever before. Many things can endanger a church, but internal fighting and division is one of the worst. New Testament Scriptures on Unity: 1 Cor. 1:10, 12:12-13, 14, 2 Cor. 13:11, Acts 2:42-47, 4:32, Gal. 3:28, Jn. 13:25, Rom. 6:5, 12:10, 16, 18, 14:1, 19, 15:5-6, Matt. 18:19-20, 23:8, Col. 3:13-17, Eph. 4:2-6, 11-13, 14, 16, 1 Pet. 3:8, Rom. 12:16, Tit. 3:10-11 Christian unity is something that Paul was very passionate about…so was Jesus! John 17:21: “I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one.”This is what Paul wants for the Philippians (Phil. 1:27). The Basis of Christian Unity—Verse 1In light of the blessings of salvation we enjoy in Christ, this changes the way we relate to others.• What we share in common with Christ is far more important than what we disagree on!• At the end of the day, it’s the essentials of the gospel that hold us together and our shared faith that really matters!• Deferring to other believers in matters of secondary importance is actually a sign of maturity, not weakness! The Marks of Christian Unity—Verse 2Christian unity means the church is moving together as one body toadvance the Kingdom. Unity is like an orchestra.• Uniformity (loss of individuality) is everybody playing the sameinstrument.• Unity is everybody looking at the same sheet music and the same conductor!• When Jesus becomes the most important thing in the room, thedifferences that divide us become the smallest thing (Heb. 12:2).

This week, I'm back with the team to talk about the importance of pausing to pray and seek God's direction as Christians, before we publicly respond to things online, or create content for public consumption that dishonors others.We're living in a time where everyone feels pressure to react quickly, share every opinion, and defend every point of view. But as believers, we are not called to move at the speed of society. We are called to move in step with the Spirit. And sometimes that means being quiet long enough to pray, examine our hearts, and ask whether what we're about to say is actually producing the kind of unity Jesus prayed for.If you've felt grieved by the division online within the Christian body, or even if you've been trusted with your own platform and wondered, “Do I need to respond to everything?” or “How do I stand firm without sowing division?” I pray this episode reminds you—not every moment needs your reaction, but every moment does require a thoughtful response in love.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The essence of this podcast episode resides in the profound discussion surrounding the intersection of faith and science, particularly as it pertains to the theory of evolution. Joshua and TJ interview Jim Stump, Vice President at BioLogos, whose expertise in both philosophy and science illuminates the dialogue on how evolutionary understanding can enhance one's faith rather than undermine it. Stump articulates the significance of recognizing Christ's centrality in creation, which serves as a foundation for fostering unity among Christians amidst diverse interpretations of scripture and scientific findings. Throughout our conversation, we explore the implications of evolution for theological concepts such as original sin and divine intention, challenging listeners to reconsider traditional narratives while embracing a more nuanced understanding of God's relationship with creation. Ultimately, this episode seeks to encourage listeners to engage in gracious dialogue, fostering community and unity within the church, regardless of differing perspectives on these complex issues. The Whole Church Podcast engages in a profound dialogue with Dr. Jim Stump, Vice President of BioLogos, a prominent organization that seeks to harmonize faith and science. The conversation delves into Dr. Stump's rich academic background, including his PhD in philosophy and his commitment to exploring the intersections of science and Christianity. Throughout the episode, Stump articulates his journey from a conservative Christian upbringing to a nuanced understanding of evolution and its implications for faith. He addresses common misconceptions within evangelical circles regarding the compatibility of evolutionary theory with Christian doctrine, emphasizing that science does not undermine the reality of sin or the need for salvation. Rather, he advocates for a perspective that embraces the complexity of creation and the role of humanity within it. Stump's insights challenge listeners to reconsider their preconceived notions about evolution and encourage a more profound engagement with both science and scripture, ultimately fostering a deeper faith that transcends traditional divides. In a thought-provoking episode of The Whole Church Podcast, Dr. Jim Stump, Vice President of BioLogos, shares his insights on the relationship between science and Christianity. The discussion spans various themes, including the historical tensions between evangelical beliefs and scientific understandings of evolution. Dr. Stump reflects on his academic journey, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and education in bridging the gap between faith and science. He argues that many evangelical Christians harbor misconceptions about the scientific consensus on evolution, which can lead to unnecessary divisions within the church. By framing science as a tool for fostering awe and wonder in creation, Stump encourages listeners to embrace a faith that is informed by rigorous scientific inquiry. The conversation culminates in a challenge for listeners to engage compassionately with those who hold differing views, reinforcing the notion that unity in Christ transcends intellectual disagreements. This episode serves as both an educational resource and a heartfelt appeal for greater understanding and collaboration among Christians.Takeaways:In this episode, Jim Stump articulates the profound relationship between faith and science, emphasizing that both can coexist harmoniously within the Christian framework.Stump discusses how understanding evolution can enhance one's faith, rather than diminish it, by providing deeper insights into the nature of God and creation.The conversation highlights the importance of engaging in gracious dialogue between differing viewpoints on faith and science to foster church unity.Jim Stump mentions that both evangelical and scientific communities can benefit from mutual understanding, as both sides often misinterpret each other's positions.He suggests that personal relationships, particularly those formed across ideological divides, can significantly enhance unity within the church.The episode underscores the necessity of moving beyond simplistic interpretations of scripture to embrace a more nuanced understanding of biblical texts in light of scientific advancements..You can leave a donation, buy podcast merchandise, check out previous series that we've done, or become an official member of The Whole Church Podcast on our website:https://the-whole-church-podcast-shop.fourthwall.com/.Check out all of the other shows in the Anazao Podcast Network and find merch to support some of your favorite podcasts on the network's website:https://anazao-podcasts-shop.fourthwall.com/.Listen to Jim Stump's podcast, "The Language of God":https://biologos.org/podcasts/language-of-god.Check out more from BioLogos:https://biologos.org/people/jim-stump.Check out TJ on Systematic Geekology:https://player.captivate.fm/collection/f4c32709-d8ff-4cef-8dfd-5775275c3c5e.Hear more from Joshua on Be Living Water:https://be-living-water.captivate.fm/listen

This Pod Tract consider the question of Christian Unity and the See of Peter. How do we consider the historic apostolic ministry while not embracing claims of universal jurisdiction. especially in light of Resolution #9 from Lambeth 1920.

As we kickoff our series looking at the “Still Pictures” found in the book of Acts, we find an example to follow in the unified, gospel fueled, and generous church as it thrives in the midst of persecution and uncertainty.

Welcome back to the Let's be friends podcast. With us today is Father Peter Heers. You may know Father Peter Heers from his popular online and YouTube account, Orthodox Ethos. Father Peter is a priest of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of the United States of America and assistant priest of the Holy Protection of the Mother of God Orthodox Church in Houston, TX. He is also the founder of Uncut Mountain Press. In this episode he unpacks why the ancient Church insisted on baptism, chrismation, and communion happening together—and what's at stake when modern churches split these sacraments apart. You'll discover how the divine energies and the patristic consensus affirm that initiation into Christ can only be fully realized within the Orthodox faith. His insights draw from centuries of tradition, ecumenical councils, and the unbroken apostolic link that defines true Christian unity.We break down the theological error of Protestant "baptism alone" and explore the dangerous drift caused by Western schisms, especially the Great Schism of 1054 and the Papacy's unilateral authority. Father Peter discusses the heresies that led to Christ's Church fracturing, the influence of the filioque, and how ecumenism is paving a way toward a false global unity—one that risks aligning with the Antichrist's heretical deception.Watch video on YouTubeMake sure to listen to part 2: "The Surprising Link Between Western Heresies and Orthodox Baptismal Practices"Want more?

Unity sounds great, until it turns into Uniformity. In this Podcast episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff Rowland and Alan Smith break down the difference, then apply it to a growing ecumenical push where "unity" gets treated as the highest virtue. First, they react to a covenant between church leaders and the claim that every division is a sin. Next, they compare that claim to what Scripture actually teaches, because some divisions are commanded and some convictions can't be traded away. Along the way, they talk about where real Christian Unity starts (the blood of Christ), why signed documents don't create spiritual agreement, and how "unity" can get used as pressure to compromise on salvation and the gospel. If you care about Bible authority, discernment, and the line between cooperation and compromise, this episode lays it out plainly. #Unity #Uniformity #Podcast #ChristianUnity #Ecumenism

John 3:16 is routinely translated, "For God so loved the world." The NLT translates it, "For this is how God loved the world." The difference roots in a Greek adverb, the sentence as a whole, and the theological logic employed by John. Dr. George Kalantzis, who has been on this podcast before, is Professor of Theology and Director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College. Among his publications are Theodore of Mopsuestia: Gospel of John and Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service. He has been editor or co-editor of several volumes, including, Come, Let Us Eat Together: Sacraments and Christian Unity.

345 – Is Christian unity possible?Ever been disillusioned by people from different Christian denominations arguing about who is right theologically, and in the process sending everyone who disagrees with them to hell?So many churches today think they are the only true followers of Christ and dogmatically insist you must agree with their theology to be a Christian. This attitude doesn't bring fellow believers together but is incredibly divisive.In this divisive atmosphere among so many churches, is it possible we will ever have unity in the Christian church as a whole?If so, what will it take to have unity in the body of Christ? The good news is, there is something you can do to, starting today, to dissolve the divisiveness among Christians and bring unity.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/345Previous episode mentioned: Episode 224: Why Should I Believe in the Nicene Creed?Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

What does it mean for a church to thrive when membership is declining, resources feel scarce, and the future is uncertain? In this episode, Loren is joined by Kory Wilcoxson and Erin Cash to talk about their book, Thriving Church: What We Can Learn from Faithful Congregations, and the real-world practices of congregations navigating change with courage and clarity. Drawing from years of congregational research and ministry experience, the conversation explores how churches can remain faithful to their calling without being governed by fear, metrics, or nostalgia. Kory and Erin reflect on the importance of grounding ministry in Scripture, revisiting mission and vision regularly, and honoring the past without being constrained by it. Rather than equating thriving with growth, the episode makes a case for faithfulness, imagination, and adaptability—especially in mainline Protestant contexts where decline is often assumed to be the whole story. Topics include: Why thriving is not the same as numerical growth How fear distorts mission—and how clarity restores it What it looks like for a church to be both “dying” and thriving Honoring history without letting it become a barrier to change Why Scripture still matters deeply for faithful congregations This episode is a grounded, hopeful conversation for pastors and church leaders discerning how to lead well in seasons of transition.   Rev. Dr. Kory Wilcoxson has served as the Senior Pastor of Crestwood Christian Church in Lexington, Ky., since 2009. Prior to moving to Lexington, he served for twelve years as a pastor in the Chicago and Indianapolis areas. Wilcoxson holds degrees from Indiana University ((BA in Speech Communication), Ohio University (MA in Interpersonal Communication), Christian Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity), and Lexington Theological Seminary (Doctor of Divinity). Wilcoxson has served in a number of leadership positions within the Kentucky Region and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination, including moderator of the Kentucky Regional Board, chair of the Board of Directors for the Council on Christian Unity (now the Christian Unity and Interfaith Ministry), and member of the Board of Directors for Disciples Home Missions. Wilcoxson is also the executive director of Compassionate Lexington, an organization which seeks to promote the core value of compassion through concrete action. Wilcoxson has two adult daughters: Sydney and Molly. He enjoys reading, running, and rooting on his beloved Cincinnati Reds.   Erin Cash is the Project Director for the Thriving Congregations Project at Lexington Theological Seminary.  Prior to this role, Erin served as Director of Admissions at LTS for over 8 years.  She is a graduate of Greenville University in Greenville, IL, Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, and Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, KY. Ordained in 2006, Erin enjoys the opportunities she has to serve in pulpit supply, guest lectures, and as a lay leader in her own congregation. Erin has served as Moderator for the Christian Church In Kentucky, as co-chair of the Local Arrangements team for Regional Assembly, and as co-chair for the Local Arrangements Team of the General Assembly. She also serves as Kentucky's representative to the General Board, chairing the General Assembly Planning Committee there.  Erin is deeply passionate about the work of the local and the Regional church. She is co-author of the book Thriving Church: What You Can Learn from Faithful Congregations now available from Chalice Press. Erin is part of a clergy couple.  Her husband, Chris, is the Senior Pastor at FCC Georgetown, having formerly served North Middletown Christian Church and Oxford Christian Church.  She is mom to Ella, who is a Junior at Murray State University. In her free time, Erin enjoys baking, hiking, exploring the National Parks, baseball games, and any experience that involves a lake, pool, or the ocean.   Mentioned Resources:
