One of the most common reasons people give for leaving a church is a lack of community—but the solution isn’t as simple as wishing for deeper fellowship. In this episode, Pastor Kenny tackles two essential questions every believer should ask when longing for greater connection in their local church. Before getting there, he offers practical, down-to-earth steps anyone can take right now to build meaningful relationships: showing up early, staying late, giving deeper answers, initiating discipleship, and pushing through the awkwardness that real community often requires.

Kenny then explores what kind of community we’re actually looking for—social, hobby-based connection or a Christ-centered, discipleship-shaped fellowship like the one described in Acts 2. Finally, he challenges listeners to consider how they themselves are cultivating community rather than waiting for better programs or perfect circumstances. If you’ve been struggling to feel connected at your church, these two questions just might change the way you pursue biblical fellowship.
