The streaming series about a high-end chef struggling to revive his family’s Chicago beef joint turns out to be the perfect opportunity for Josh, JR., and Joe to discuss the difference between perfection and excellence, ways of welcoming all to the table, and the persistent gift of grace. Plus, JR. shares a pastor’s perspective on how The Beef’s journey toward becoming The Bear mirrors the challenge and promise of the contemporary church.
