Does the Church Drive People Away?
Millions of people love Jesus but have walked away from church. However, the problem isn’t always their faith. Sometimes it’s the institution itself. That’s worth an honest conversation.
In this episode of the Live Bold Podcast, we ask the hard questions. We look at the church through clear eyes and through the lens of Scripture. Therefore, nothing is off-limits here.
The Church Is Messy. Here’s Why.
People are messy. Also, the church is made up of people. However, Jesus never promised a perfect institution. He promised a redeemed one.
Pastoral scandals, hypocrisy, and church hurt are real. Therefore, we’re not going to pretend otherwise. Instead, we slow down and look honestly at why these things happen.
The Questions We’re Tackling
This episode covers the topics people whisper about but rarely hear addressed from a pulpit. First, we explore why Christian leaders fall into sin. Then, we talk about what to do when the church has genuinely hurt you.
We also ask whether you can follow Jesus without a faith community. Additionally, we unpack why the church talks about money so often and whether skeptics are truly welcome. These aren’t easy questions. However, they deserve real answers.
This Episode Is for You
If you’ve been disillusioned, this conversation was made with you in mind. Also, if you’re skeptical, you belong in this discussion too. The goal isn’t to defend the church. It’s to understand it.
