About this listen

Sunday morning, 9:43 AM. Pastor looks out at forty-seven members carrying individual burdens that threaten to crush their small fellowship. Instead of prepared sermons, HE makes a radical decision: "Today we practice being the body of Christ."

Mrs. Patterson grieving alone. The Rodriguez family drowning in financial crisis. Timothy battling invisible wounds from Afghanistan. What if no one had to carry their burden alone?

"All believers were one in heart and mind... they shared everything they had." Not communism, but recognition that individual suffering is community responsibility. When one part hurts, the whole body responds.

Real community isn't about finding people who don't need anything from you. It's about finding people whose burdens you're willing to help carry, and who are willing to help carry yours.
