Building Bridges, Not Walls: Can Friendship Heal Divisions in the Church?

The Healthy Church Staff Podcast

What happens when twelve pastors from different backgrounds and theological views come together to foster understanding amidst division? Discover the compelling journey documented in "Leap of Faith" as we explore the vital importance of friendship and faith in bridging differences. I recount a childhood memory of a well-meaning pastor who struggled to connect, reminding us that the key isn't about proving others wrong but about listening, learning, and loving without judgment. This episode passionately argues for the power of relationship-building across theological and cultural lines to heal divides within our churches and communities.
Join me, Todd Rhoades, as I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone and seek common ground with those who may be different yet are still part of the kingdom. The path to unity involves reaching out in our local ministries and communities, nurturing healthier relationships, and advancing the kingdom of God collaboratively. If you're looking for guidance on beginning this transformative process, my team and I are ready to support you. Reach out to us at [e-mail] and learn how to create a ministry that emphasizes building bridges rather than walls.
