Deon Parker and Jerry Nelson discuss biblical unity, spiritual formation, overcoming division, and the importance of active pursuit of God's design rather than just relying on geographical proximity or surface-level diversity.

He is a 2004 graduate of Piedmont Baptist College (now Carolina University) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He spent 15 years in pastoral ministry and has served in Christian education for more than 6 years.
