And how can you tell whether the things attracting you to a church are actually the things that matter most?In this episode, we talk through the process of searching for a church home and offer some perspective for anyone trying to make that decision wisely. Whether you’re new to an area, considering a change, or completely happy where you are, this conversation is an opportunity to think more intentionally about what you value in a local church.
