Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley come back to one of their most popular topics; brothers and sisters.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Indisputably: This is something we get more feedback on than just about anything else…why is that?
• How has the culture shift affected this conversation?
• What has been the church's response to the shift in culture?
• What does the biblical doctrine of anthropology related to men and women have to affirm?
• When we say “we need each other,” what does that mean?
• What are the threats and liabilities of relationships? What about not having these relationships?
• Why are we using family-oriented language in this conversation?
• Does this apply to those who are not believers?
• How has this changed us? How has it changed our ministries?
• Why is getting this right crucial?

Helpful Definitions:

• Adelphoi (ἀδελφοί): Brothers and sisters. The family of God.
• Philia: A kind of love that exists only among family, not just biologically but spiritually through the blood of Christ.
