JD Walt explains that the Roman church was split between Jewish believers, who held to Sabbath and dietary laws, and Gentile believers, who felt free of them. Paul wrote the letter to settle that dispute. JD argues that the small things turn out to be the big things, and that the real issue was never meat, wine or Sabbath but the relationships between believers. He ties this to Jesus's prayer in John 17 that his followers be one so the world will believe. His thesis for the week is "our relationships are the mission." He also speaks openly about the pain of his divorce and of other deep relationships in his life that broke.

In the second half, his father, David Walt, joins him. They encourage listeners from difficult families that God is "even better than the best family," and they sing "They'll Know We Are Christians by Our Love." JD then announces the Advent series, which is next after Romans. Shelby Shutt's reader Behold will be on the wake-up call, and he promotes the "buy one, sow one" offer: order two copies with the code BOSO, pay for one, and give the second to a friend.
