Are Your Relationships Shallow? You Need Real, Raw, Biblical Community | Ep. 43

In this episode, Coleton and PJ dive into a vulnerable, Christ-centered conversation about real, raw, biblical community—what it is, why it matters, and how to build it in a culture that often celebrates independence over intimacy.Drawing from over 50 "one another" commands in the New Testament and a powerful bread-making analogy, they break down the five key ingredients that make community whole: Priority, Chemistry, Vulnerability, Empathy, and Accountability. From Philippians to Romans to James, the Word makes it clear: real community is intentional, not accidental.They also explore the “Four Selves” framework—Open, Hidden, Blind, and Unknown—as a tool for understanding how we show up in relationships and how God invites us to become whole people in the context of others. With raw honesty and biblical insight, Coleton and PJ challenge listeners to stop settling for surface-level connection and step into the kind of community where being fully known and truly loved reflects the love of Christ Himself.Whether you're new to faith or craving deeper fellowship, this conversation will push you to consider where you stand—and how to start building the kind of gospel-rooted community that changes lives.Key Topics:Why biblical community is non-negotiable for spiritual growthThe 5 “ingredients” every godly community needsThe four spaces of spiritual connection: Public, Social, Personal, and IntimateHow Jesus models presence, not just availabilityQuote of the Episode:“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God.” – Tim KellerAre you truly known—and truly loved—in your community?
