Summary

Exploring how reframing sin and salvation as communal realities can transform our understanding of justice, community, and the mission of the church in today's world, Mike and Tim dive deep into the implications of being a community of justice and shalom while continuing their Exile Series.

Key Takeaways: • Sin and Salvation as Communal Concepts – Understanding the importance of viewing sin and salvation beyond individualism, emphasizing the corporate dimensions within the church. • The Role of the Church as New Humanity – Discussing Paul's metaphor of the body of Christ and how it calls us to eradicate hierarchies and promote justice within our communities. • Reevaluating Missions and the Great Commission – Critiquing traditional approaches to evangelism and missions, focusing on the communal nature of the gospel and the importance of healthy, mutual relationships. • Current Events and the Church's Response – Analyzing recent developments like anti-Christian bias task forces and Bible reading mandates, and how they align or conflict with Jesus' teachings on the church and state. • Upcoming Opportunities for Spiritual Community – Announcing the upcoming "Non-Ference" in Nashville for those feeling spiritually homeless, and "Pastoring as an Act of Resistance," a monthly gathering for ministry leaders.

Resources Mentioned: • Alan Kreider – The Patient Ferment of the Early Church • Tim Gombis – Faith Improvised podcast • Sky Jethani – Upcoming book on justice

0:15.8	Welcome to another episode of the Voxology podcast, Timothy, John Stafford, Michael Carl Larry.
0:22.6	Delighted to be with you today.
0:26.2	We're continually surprised at how many of you tune in to listen to this.
0:31.5	And roughly 80% of you make it all the way to the end, which I guess...
0:36.0	It's pretty good.
0:36.6	I guess is pretty good.
0:38.6	And those of you who don't, I would just, I would say don't hit start. You know, I mean,
0:44.0	just let it go right on by. You know what it's going to be. And it's fine. Fine either way.
0:51.4	Hey, Tim. Hey, Mike. I want to share some plans that we are making that are in wet
0:59.3	cement, but I want to reserve a couple of dates. Okay. Got it. It would be far from us to

1:11.5	Yes, that's not our style.
1:12.4	That's not our style.
1:14.3	But we are getting questions about and have a date locked in for this year's non-conference,
