Episode notes
Dunbar's Theory & Jesus's Groups
- Dunbar's theory suggests a limit to meaningful relationships (5, 15, 50, 150).
- Jesus's groups (3, 12, 72, crowds) seem to reflect similar relational layers.
Finding Your Circles
- Instead of focusing on the vastness of the church, find your smaller circles (3, 15, 50).
- Engage in communities, Alpha, and courses to foster deeper connections.
