In this episode, we talk honestly about one of the hardest and most important questions for young adults: how to find a church community that helps your faith grow and last.

We’ll explore what Scripture says about real church life and how to recognize a healthy spiritual home. Not a perfect church, but a faithful one.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from church, unsure where to go, or hesitant to commit, this conversation will give you clarity, peace, and practical direction as you look for a community where you can follow Jesus with others.

What do you do when the people who taught you about Jesus let you down?

In a generation that has watched spiritual leaders fall publicly and painfully, trust doesn’t come easily. Maybe you’ve asked, Is everyone in the church a hypocrite? Or maybe you’re carrying quiet church hurt and wondering if it’s even worth going back.

In this episode, we talk honestly about it and turn to Scripture to see what God actually says about flawed leaders, accountability, forgiveness, wisdom, and healing.

The Bible reminds us: The church has always been filled with imperfect people (Romans 3:23; Acts 6; Galatians 2). Leaders are held accountable (James 3:1; Ezekiel 34). Forgiveness is hard but healing (Colossians 3:13). Wisdom matters—sometimes you stay, sometimes you leave (James 1). And ultimately, our trust belongs in God, not in human leaders (Psalm 118:8).

If you’ve ever struggled to trust the church again, this conversation is for you.

“Do I actually need church to follow Jesus… or can I just do faith on my own?”

It’s one of the most honest, and most common, questions Gen Z is asking right now.

Maybe you’ve been hurt by church. Maybe it feels irrelevant. Maybe online sermons feel easier. Or maybe you just wonder, Is showing up even necessary?

If you love Jesus but feel unsure about the church, you’re not alone.

In this episode, my cohost and I open the Bible and look at what Jesus actually says about His plan for the church, and why faith was never meant to be lived alone. We talk about the purpose of Christian community, what the church is supposed to look like (and what it’s not), and how to take a next step toward healing and finding a healthy church home.

If you’ve ever wrestled with church, felt disappointed, or wondered where you belong, this conversation is for you.
