What does true community look like in the church today? Are we prioritizing deep, meaningful relationships, or are we settling for surface-level connections? In this episode, Ben Mandrell and Tyler Litton invite the church to reflect on their own experiences with biblical community and consider how the church can better foster belonging in a culture that often leans toward isolation. Drawing from Ben’s Together Bible Study, they explore the challenges pastors face in getting congregants plugged into groups, the growing trend of isolation, and the impact of avoiding true community. Looking at the early church, they highlight how believers spent time together both formally and informally and why genuine connection takes time and intentionality. Ben challenges listeners to lean into the natural ebbs and flows of group life, the struggles and rewards of building relationships, and examine the balance between individual responsibility and collective engagement. As you reflect on your role in building and nurturing biblical community, we encourage you to take the next step with Ben Mandrell’s Together Bible Study. This resource dives deeper into the biblical foundation of authentic relationships and provides practical steps for fostering meaningful connection in your church. Whether you’re a pastor, small group leader, or simply someone longing for deeper community, Together will equip and inspire you to take intentional steps toward living in biblical fellowship.
