Ben outlines how Paul connects this longing to Christ and exhorts the congregation to complete his joy by being of one mind, showing humility, and considering others above themselves. Ben includes various cultural references, including John Lennon, Rocky IV, and the movie Zootopia, are used to illustrate the universal desire for peace and unity. He acknowledges the challenges and 'porcupine' difficulties of living in communal harmony.
