Episode 14 — Unity Is a Fight: Finding Common Ground in a Divided World

from Built for Durango · host Bob Bonnar & DJ Jergensen

In this episode, Bob and DJ take the message of Acts straight into one of the most divided environments imaginable — a political conference — and wrestle with a hard, practical question: what does unity actually look like in the real world?Starting from Acts 4, they unpack how the early church built something powerful — not by avoiding differences, but by anchoring themselves in a shared mission and living it out through radical generosity and commitment to one another. The conversation gets honest fast. Unity sounds good in theory, but in practice it requires sacrifice, humility, and a willingness to listen when it’s easier to fight. Bob pushes the tension of applying this in modern culture, while DJ makes the case that unity doesn’t start by winning arguments — it starts by finding common ground and choosing to value people over being right.They also confront a truth most people would rather avoid: unity isn’t natural. It’s a discipline. And if you want it — in your marriage, your church, or your community — you’re going to have to fight for it.
