In this episode, Thani and Grant continue their deep dive into Ephesians, focusing on chapter 4 and the opening verses of chapter 5. They explore the call to unity, the function of spiritual gifts, and the metaphor of love as the "perfect ligament" that binds the body of Christ together. Highlights include insights into spiritual maturity, the necessity of love in ministry, and the practical outworking of unity in the church. Grant also shares parallels with Colossians and Romans, emphasizing how doctrine, love, and spiritual growth intersect.
