Do you have trouble finding a church you feel is the right fit for you? If so, Pete suggests that we need a paradigm shift in our thinking of the church. The church was not meant to be a place where we come to get our needs met. Instead, we should realize that we ourselves are the church.

Romans 12 explains that God made each one of us with unique gifts, and each one of these gifts is needed to make the church function as God intended it to. If one part is lacking, the church can survive for a time but will put too much strain on the rest and become weak again.
