THE SACRED US A Call to Radical Christian Community JUSTIN KENDRICK

For every person who has felt lonely or isolated, The Sacred Us explores a new way of living through the practice of biblical community.

In a world that celebrates individuality and autonomy, too many of us struggle to form deep, meaningful relationships. Loneliness is the norm, rich friendships are rare, and the church is no exception. We long for real community but often don’t know how to get there. What will it take to develop healthy friendships?

The Bible gives us a compelling blueprint for community, but it must be built on more than shared interests or Sunday-morning smiles. This book explores the substance of biblical community through seven principles:

• Proximity that provides opportunity

• Vulnerability that creates connection

• Discipleship that sets direction

• Fun that amplifies grace

• Mission that drives adventure

• Sacrifice that matures love

• Boundaries that sustain growth

These principles seek to guide the reader beyond loneliness and isolation into a life of rootedness and connection.

Truth Over Tribe

Pledging Allegiance to the Lamb, Not the Donkey or the Elephant

PATRICK KEITH MILLER KEITH SIMON

Tribalism is dividing society, fueling outrage, amplifying anxiety, fracturing relationships, and making your life miserable. Jesus is the solution to these problems.

Do you feel exhausted by tribalism? You aren’t alone.

As culture warriors divide the world into us and them—fracturing families, friendships, and churches—most of us long for an end to the constant fighting. But does a practical path exist?

Jesus lived in a culture split by tribalism, but he resisted its allure by choosing something bigger: truth. He’s now inviting you to apply his ancient path to the modern culture war. In Truth Over Tribe, you will learn:

• How tribalism makes your life miserable

• How to lovingly resist when a tribe demands your allegiance

• How to heal relationships fractured by tribalism

• How to unite diverse communities

How would your community change if you became a catalyst for Christlike unity? Rejecting tribalism is the first step.
