Brian welcomes guest Dr. Tim Boswell into the Greenhouse to finish up our exploration of intimacy. As a means of forming us to be more like Jesus, what role does intimacy play, particularly as we struggle to form long-term communities for that purpose?

Tim and Brian dig deeper into the three popular “ideas” of a mature, intimate Christian introduced in Ep 52: the OP Christian, the Accurate Christian, and the Placid Christian. Does our vision of what a spiritually formed person looks like match up with biblical reality?

This episode is part of Season 3.
