Second Thoughts | Crossing Chasms: The Cost and Call of Church Unity
Partner with work of CareImpact and Neighbourly!
Description
What if church unity isn't about everyone agreeing, but about choosing humility and crossing the chasms that divide us?
In this candid conversation, hosts Johan Heinrichs and Wendi Park reflect on Dave Witt’s insights around trust, apathy, and the real cost of indifference among faith communities. They explore how genuine unity and reconciliation require more than polite coexistence—they demand intentional risk, honest conversations, and a willingness to serve outside our familiar circles. Through relatable stories, practical ideas, and references to collaborative efforts like CarePortal, this episode inspires listeners to rethink what it means to be the “Church” in their community and challenges us all to replace indifference with connection and courage.
