Do I Really Need to Go to Church?

What comes to mind when someone mentions church? For some, it’s a positive thought full of love, warmth, and community. For others, it immediately sparks feelings of judgment and rejection. Through the local church, we should experience Christ, meet our heavenly family, and grow in faith and love as we are stretched by one another, but is this happening?

In this episode, Jonathan Youssef unpacks God’s purpose and design for the church. He shares why going to a Biblical church can help you build a healthy and vibrant relationship with the Lord. He also provides valuable insight into finding a body of believers rooted in the Word of God.
