How to Preserve the Unity of the Spirit
Unity is hard to come by in the body of Christ, but it doesn’t have to be that way. At the same time, we should never sacrifice truth in the name of superficial unity. When it comes to the work of the Holy Spirit in the true body of Christ, we may differ on some secondary doctrinal matters, but if we share a common Lord and have been baptized into the same body, we can experience unity in the midst of some differences. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks 4 principles that can help us preserve the unity that the Holy Spirit provides.

5 Principles for Christian Singles
Christian singleness is often accompanied by extremes. One extreme is to insist that almost everyone should be married young, while another extreme is to insist that most everyone wait until their 30s so they can enjoy their singleness. Littered in between these extremes are the imposing personal experiences that many push onto others because it's how the Lord wrote their story. Are you allowed to deeply desire to be married? Is it wrong to want to plan for the future before getting married? How should you leverage your singleness? If you're sad that you're not married, does that mean marriage is an "idol" for you? These are important questions! In this episode, Costi Hinn provides 5 principles that will help you view marriage as a gift, and approach singleness in a balanced way.
Truth AND Tone Matter
Correction and conflict regarding sin is inevitable in the church and we need to know how to navigate these issues in the way we communicate. Paul's instructions to Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:1-2 explain how to approach older men, older women, younger men, and younger women. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks why it's not only "what" you say that matters, but "how" you say it when dealing with family in Christ. Truth should never be compromised, but the Bible provides valuable insight for speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) to other believers.
