The Impossible Life

227. When Is It Time to Leave Your Church? (And When It's Just Your Pride Talking)


Listen Later

Church hurt is real—but so is spiritual immaturity.
In this episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Josh Craft tackle a tough and often emotional topic: when is it actually right to leave your church? And when is it just an excuse that masks offense, ego, or passivity?

They break down the biblical filters, red flags, and internal checkpoints that separate righteous conviction from spiritual cowardice. Whether you’re burned out, frustrated with leadership, or just feeling like “it’s not feeding me anymore,” this conversation will challenge you to look deeper.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:
  • The difference between conviction and offense
  • Biblical reasons to stay—and when to go
  • Why submission to imperfect leadership is a test of maturity
  • The danger of church consumerism and self-centered Christianity
  • How God uses difficult people and dry seasons to grow you
  • Signs you might be running from growth, not dysfunction
