True faith produces fruit. We learn in the book of James, as he writes to the first-ever Christian community of believers, that faith requires action. The early church was navigating an uncertain time and James offers us many parallels for how to order our lives today. This ground-level view of the first Christian community invites us to go back to the basics. We can be reminded of the simple, and yet profound life that we all have been invited into. It doesn’t matter where you find yourself in your faith journey, James has practical and challenging words for every one of us. By living out the radical teachings that James challenges us with, we too can join in on the movement that changed the world.
