Why is building unity so important for business and church, but at the same time, so challenging to realize? Often, we’re more familiar with disunity and dysfunction, and what some organizations and churches call unity, is actually a uniformity to one person’s ideas, or a subgroup’s values. Maybe this has been your experience. So, is building unity an achievable and worthwhile effort? Or should we just settle, suffering within uniformity and surviving within dysfunction?

In Episode 10 (Season 2) of "C.A.R.s, Coffee, & Christ", the team addresses this question, comparing it to “body work” on vehicles. Every part of a vehicle – and every job a team member does – matter to the build. While not all equal in function, all are valuable.

Our team then discusses the importance of mutual respect – both for people and parts – and how each play a role in building unity of company and mission. Additionally, they talk about how to deal with disunity – and overcome friction – to stay unified. When unity falters, when friction isn’t oiled, or when the spark of innovation is lost, most start-ups fail and even legacy brands will fold. We’ve all seen it.

Lastly, you’d think building unity would be easier in the church, but for those of us who are members of it – we know that’s not the case. The Church has a business but is much more than a business – it’s a body – a living organism, and vibrant branches, connected the Head and the Vine, Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 teaches how God has connected each member into His body on purpose. Thus, each local church is made up of the people God intended for that time, so that we might see, respect, utilize, and love one another – growing closer in unity and demonstrating it to others.

But just as the spark of the engine and the body of the vehicle must work as one to move, so must the living vine of the church have a pole to direct its grow where God wants. Everyone expects a church to have heart, but it also must have a mission. Everyone expects a business to do a job, but it must also possess a heart. Having both leads to body work that is unified and vivified!
