Practice Resurrection: Life Together | Dave Peterson

Pastor Dave Peterson explores the radical community described in Acts 2 and challenges us to examine our own barriers to meaningful connection. Drawing from N.T. Wright's concept of "fictive kinship" and personal stories about transforming his neighborhood, Dave reveals how leaning into messy relationships—despite our natural tendencies toward isolation—is essential for spiritual transformation.
