Imperfect Faith, Real Community // The Word Made Fresh (Philippians 1)
from The Word Made Fresh · host The Riverside Church NYC
What does it mean to be the church when nobody is doing it perfectly? This week on The Word Made Fresh, Rev. Jim Keat sits down with Dr. Jillian Langford to explore Philippians 1—a deeply personal letter from Paul written while in prison… and yet filled with joy, gratitude, and a surprising claim: “What does it matter? Just that Christ is proclaimed.” But does it really not matter how Christ is proclaimed? Together, Jim and Jillian wrestle with:What koinonia (community/partnership) really meansHow the early church embraced imperfectionWhether harmful theologies can still produce good fruitThe tension between discernment and judgmentWhat it looks like to be formed by a faith you’ve outgrownThis is an honest, nuanced conversation about faith, formation, and the messy beauty of community. 👉 Join us for worship, open Bible study, and virtual coffee hour to keep the conversation going. #Philippians #ProgressiveChristianity #FaithDeconstruction #ChurchCommunity #BibleStudy
