Episode Synopsis

John Swadley | John 17:20-23Unity isn’t just a nice idea; Jesus treated it like a supernatural power source. This message digs into John 17 and the opening chapters of Acts, where Jesus prays that His people would be one just as He and the Father are one. That prayer wasn’t just for the disciples in the upper room — it’s for us right now.This isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about choosing the same mission and letting go of the ego battles that hold us back. The Trinity itself models this rhythm of joyful deference — the Spirit lifting up the Son, the Son glorifying the Father.The challenge is simple and uncomfortable: Will we choose unity so God can move… or let small disagreements rob us of what He wants to do?
