One Church, Many Expressions | Unity & Discipleship in ActionWhat if churches stopped competing and started collaborating? What if local churches could link arms—not to build a brand—but to build the Church?

In this episode, we explore the biblical vision for church unity and how partnerships like the Relational Discipleship Network (RDN) help local congregations work together to reflect Jesus more clearly. We dive into what it means to be a local expression of the one true Church, how the shift from programs to discipleship changes everything, and why Together Church has chosen to walk alongside other churches on the same mission: to make disciples who make disciples.
