About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of community and support during difficult times, as highlighted in Peter's teachings.

When we are struggling, is it better to face it alone or with support from the people who love us and know us best? The answer may seem obvious, but when life gets hard, it can be easy to isolate—and isolation can become dangerous. Today, we looked at Peter’s call for believers to enter into community, engage with the family of Jesus, and offer support to one another in times of hardship and suffering. This kind of life together is one of the greatest gifts Jesus has given us.
