In this episode, I unpack 10 of the most common misunderstandings I've encountered about the local church—from both within the Body and from the outside.
Many believers today hold distorted views shaped more by culture than by Scripture. Whether it's the idea that "church is optional," or the belief that online worship can fully replace embodied fellowship, these misunderstandings weaken our witness, rob us of spiritual maturity, and fracture the unity of Christ's Body.
If we want to see a healthy, Kingdom-advancing church in our generation, we must return to a biblical vision of what the local church is—and why it still matters.
🎧 Listen and be equipped to lead with clarity, conviction, and love.
