Is going back to church something you are feeling called to do? If so, this podcast episode will give you practical tips on finding a new church.

I'm acknowledging all the elephants and sharing some of my own personal experiences about feeling as if attending church was pointless. I know it sounds harsh, but it appeared that most church attendees were going through the motions. I wanted no part of it until my friend convinced me to try one more time.

Because of Natasha, I gave attending a local church one more chance and I'm grateful for her push. Watching online, settling for a podcast with your favorite preacher's messages... (Still love a good Steven Furtick message!) God wants more for you and that is what this podcast is all about!

In this episode, you will be challenged to:

  • Acknowledge personal fears, rejections, and past hurts that could have you self-protecting and avoiding
  • Recognize your need for local believers to pray and connect with
  • Stop living offended and instead use it as an opportunity for intentional conversations
  • Recognize when avoidance of what is uncomfortable gets in your way of spiritual growth
  • Trust in God's guidance and provision, remembering my favorite bible verse; Matthew 6:8: Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
  • Be courageous and take steps to go back to church, even if it's terrifying.
  • Reflect on any past church hurt, remembering that people hurt you, not God and that it's important not to put the church on a pedestal. The church is full of broken people who are in need of a Savior and help.
  • Research churches in your area, considering factors such as location, denomination, and community involvement, and pick three to try out.
  • Attend a church service or if you are really uncomfortable, start with a smaller step like a Trunk or Treat or special service churches offer throughout the year, keeping an open mind and heart.
  • Get involved in a church community by joining a small group, or ministry, or volunteering in an outreach program.
  • Reflect on any past experiences of rejection or abandonment and how they may be influencing your feelings about attending church
  • Remember that God is calling you back to the church not only for your own growth but also to be a part of a community of believers and serve others.
