Turns out, intentional community is tough.
We’ve long admired the kind of radical, intentional community that requires its members to make real commitments and sacrifices — and that holds out a vision of Christian ethics built on Jesus’ sermon on the mount. Maybe we’ve even idealized it. In this episode, Katelyn and Roxy hear from journalist Eliza Griswold about the fate of just such a community and what happened when America’s wider societal fractures found them.
Plus, we go on an eras tour through our various Christian phases.
