S3 E12: Why We Don't Confuse Fellowship with Friendship

In this episode, we cover a comment from a follower. The word "fellowship" is passed around church circles so much it has become a dead word or simply a synonym for small talk.
For those of you who have been following us through the years, "fellowship" could be listed as yet another of those "lost words."
But what does it mean?  We unpack the meaning of fellowship and how many expect (and are disappointed) when it doesn't deliver!
