The Christian life is meant to be lived in community. Or is it? Many people question whether or not this is actually true, thinking that they can follow Jesus without being involved in a local church.

In this episode (featuring our kids minister, Zach Baker), we look at the Bible and tackle what it actually says about the importance of church. We also discuss some common excuses that keep people from attending church and address what "church hurt" is and how people can heal from it.
