Church Membership. If you have been in a church that has been around awhile you have probably heard this term before. Maybe your even an official "Member" of the church that you go to, but is church membership Biblical? Should we seek out a church where membership is required or stay away from it all together? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller sit down and look through the Bible and church history to find if all members of the faith should be an official "Member" to the body which they belong. Get out your Bible and follow along in this important conversation.
