You are not enough -- and that's good news!

In this powerful season finale, we uncover a radical truth: you’re not enough—and that’s actually God’s design.

From the eternal communion of the Holy Trinity to the everyday reality of church life, the Bible shows us that growth, healing, and transformation come through people. God made us in His image—and that means we are wired for mutual dependence, not self-sufficiency.

Drawing from Genesis 1, John 1, and 1 Corinthians 12, this episode explores:

  • Why God Himself lives in community—and why that matters for your spiritual life.
  • How the image of God includes our need for others.
  • Why American individualism can stunt your growth.
  • A wrap-up of Season 3, with highlights on spiritual friendship, confession, marriage, singleness, monastic obedience, table fellowship, and more.
  • How to avoid the twin traps of isolation and over-dependence.
  • Practical tips for growing through your church, small group, family, and friendships.
  • We also reflect on the richness of the Apostles’ Creed, the vulnerability of asking for help, and the beauty of becoming more like Jesus—together.

📌 Whether you're a new believer, a seasoned Christian, or a spiritual seeker wondering how people fit into God's plan—this episode will help you see your community in a new light.
