A biblical community is the natural result of people behaving and thinking like Jesus. Biblical community is not a culture that is friendly to the flesh; It’s a spiritual culture. Many Christians say they desire a biblical community, so in this episode, Dale and Veronica present what it truly takes in order to create it, and an opportunity for you to examine if you would thrive in or end up leaving a biblical community.
