Communities flourish when we live out our faith in Jesus. But...that’s a lot easier said than done. InterVarsity staff, Caroline Lancaster and Andy Kim, unpack (and sometimes wrestle with) the values and practices that help grow flourishing communities on campus. Through honest conversations, and some serious reflection on their own friendship and the communities they share, Caroline and Andy will make you reflect on the beauty and struggles of forming real community.
In this last episode of season one, our loveable hosts Andy and Caroline give shape to biblical justice and tease out what it means for campuses to commit to pursuing justice for the long haul. Their personal stories and encouragement will challenge you to take one small step of living out justice in your life (and maybe also make you want to have deeper conversations with your friends about these topics!).
