What is “church” really and why does God insist I can’t be spiritually healthy without it? Is it better to be fully known in a small church or to have some privacy in a large church? What do I do when I get hurt in church and I want to stop showing up? Should I be a part of a non-Christian community or would I be damaging my faith? What did the “church” community look like around Jesus? Following Jesus's example what should "church" look like for me today? If you ever questioned what God wants for us in church, then this episode is for you.
