Dividing Walls and Other Church Renovation Projects | Feat. Joel & Pastor Shuler

Dividing Walls and Other Church Renovation Projects This week on Faith in Pieces, we’re stepping into the holy mess of inclusion, scripture, and the tensions we carry when faith and relationships collide. We’re asking the big one: If we say we’re inclusive… does that mean we’re not taking the Bible seriously? Spoiler alert: context matters. And so does the arc of scripture, which bends—over and over again—toward grace, mercy, justice, and love. In this episode, we unpack how certain verses have been weaponized to exclude and how we can reclaim a fuller, more faithful reading of scripture. We also talk about the real, complicated emotions that come up when we're in worship with people whose political views feel... not just different, but harmful. What does unity look like without demanding uniformity? How do we hold boundaries without breaking relationships? Can curiosity really be a spiritual practice? There’s a lot to take in—but it’s honest, hopeful, and just irreverent enough to feel like sitting around a table with friends who are wrestling right alongside you. 🧩 Listen now at mosaicumctx.org/faithinpieces And if you’ve got a question for a future episode, we want to hear it! 📩 Email us at [email protected]
