There are roughly 2.4 billion Christians in the world. Which one irritates you the most? Church is a place for meaningful connection--a like-minded community who worships, prays, and participates together for the singular purpose of glorifying God. "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" David exclaims (Psalm 133:1), implying that unity can exist. But unity is, well, difficult . The apostle Paul has to remind the church to "make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3). Life-Minded draws our attention to the reality of that text: it does take effort to stay unified with our spiritual family. Effort takes commitment.

It takes persistence. It takes hope. Speaking both truth and grace, Pastor Brady Boyd echoes Paul's words in a contemporary context with 8 practical challenges to put peaceable unity into action. He invites you to devote yourself to the pursuit of Jesus, so you can enjoy life within the church like never before.
