In this episode of Between Sundays, Alyssa and Pastor Ric talk about why Sunday worship matters so much to Christian life. They look at how what happens on Sunday can shape the rest of our week, why it's worth showing up prepared and present, and how gathering together can shift from feeling like something we have to do to something we genuinely want to do. They also get into the real tensions—the things that pull us away from church, the line between healthy discipline and rigid legalism, and how our Sunday rhythms influence who we're becoming as followers of Christ.

This week we are diving into the topic of accountability. Pastor Ric and Alyssa share stories, explore the ideas of encouragement and admonishing, and discuss how proximity and everyday life together shape real relationships in the church.

In this episode of Between Sundays, Alyssa and Pastor Ric explore why unity is so central to the New Testament and essential for healthy church life. They unpack the difference between unity and uniformity, how the gospel empowers us to bear with one another, and why Paul calls us to maintain the unity the Spirit has already given. With real-life examples from church life and practical ways to pursue unity throughout the week, this episode offers a hopeful vision of what it means to live out our covenant promise of unity.
