DO I REALLY NEED CHURCH TO FOLLOW JESUS? | The Branch

from The Branch · host The Tree Church

Many Christians today wrestle with the question: Can’t I just follow Jesus on my own? In this episode, we unpack where that mindset comes from and how it stacks up against Scripture. We explore the impact of American individualism, the biblical model of faith in community, and the real expectations between a church and its members. What does the Church owe its people, and what do its people owe the Church? Whether you’ve been hurt by church, feel disconnected, or just wonder if Sunday gatherings are essential, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to see the Church not as an obligation, but as a vital part of following Jesus faithfully.
