Episode notes

This chapter delves into the complexities of community relationships through the lens of Onesimus and Philemon, exploring themes of betrayal and forgiveness. It emphasizes the radical nature of mutual submission as a transformative practice that challenges individualism and highlights the need for love and trust among individuals.

“Wounds they fester, hearts withdraw, This is family? We see the flaw.” If you know the pain of Christian community, you can relate to some of what’s happening in the letter to Philemon. Pastor Paul doesn’t offer a quick fix, but rather gives Philemon and Onesimus a radical Christian practice. From Philemon v15-25.
