Christians who have been hurt, disregarded, or forgotten by the church can often conclude that going to church is no longer important, but in this episode, we hope to remind all believers that the body of Christ is essential for our walk with Christ. It is nearly impossible to mature without being able to confess our sins to one another, serve one another, be encouraged by one another, and forgiving one another. Fellowship with other Christ-followers is essential.  Tune in today to see how Pastor Travis and I discuss the following difficult questions: - What does the Bible say about what church should be?,  - How did Covid change how we do church?,  - Is it a sin for Christians not to be involved in church community?, and - Can Christians grow without consistent church community? As Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
