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.

Plus, we go on an eras tour through our various Christian phases.
