The Mind That Holds Us Together

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 23, 2026

Unity is not preserved by control or agreement, but by shared orientation toward Christ, whose humility frees us from grasping and teaches us how to trust. Unity does not hold when we try harder to manage one another — it holds when we remain oriented toward Christ and trust God with the outcome.

Unfollow Me Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025

Jesus calls us to unfollow the voices that hurt us and follow Him into peace, identity, courage, and a life of true belonging.

There is a strange paradox in the way we speak today. We live in an age with more freedom than any previous generation — more information, more options, more mobility, more personal expression.
