“We are to be like the Trinity and model our lives accordingly.” —Steve Macchia

The perfect church is a misnomer. But what if there was such a thing as a perfect community? The relationship within the Triune God (Father, Son, and Spirit) is indeed, the perfect community. Beginning with a conversation around the life of the Trinity, Season 35 of The Discerning Leader podcast explores the essentials of spiritual community. In episode 01, Steve and Matt invite the listener to consider what it looks like for fellow pilgrims on a commonly shared journey to share life together.
