Is Your Church Worth Staying In? Here's What Scripture Says

When should you leave a church?It's one of the most debated questions in Christianity today. In this episode of Conversations, I unpack what the Bible actually says about leaving a church, church hurt, healthy sending, division, and consumer Christianity.I explore the difference between leaving because God is sending you and leaving because conflict was never addressed. We look at what Scripture teaches through Acts 13, Matthew 18, Romans 16, and Titus 3, while also acknowledging that church hurt and spiritual abuse are real and sometimes leaving is the wisest decision.This isn't about convincing people to stay or encouraging people to leave. It's about helping Christians make biblical decisions that honor Jesus and His Church.In this episode:When should a Christian leave a church?What the Bible says about church hurtSending vs. division in the local churchMatthew 18 and handling conflict biblicallyConsumer Christianity and church shoppingWhy the Church belongs to JesusHealthy church culture and leadershipQuestions every Christian should ask before leaving📝 NewsletterI send a free newsletter where I share honest thoughts on leadership, ministry, faith, and building something that actually lasts.Subscribe here:https://conversations-with-josh-andrew.beehiiv.com/🎙️ Editing & ProductionI use Descript to edit and produce this podcast.
