Ep 13: Why Bother with Church?

In Church Life, Podcast, Spiritual Growth by Sam Allberry


In this episode, we have a great discussion with Sam Allberry, author of Why Bother with Church?: And other questions about why you need it and why it needs you (Questions Christians Ask). Sam explains what it means to gather as a church and why we should attend church in person when possible. Jesus called us into a community of believers where we can spiritually encourage others and be encouraged spiritually.

Sam addresses many of the common issues people have with church such as:

  • Church is boring
  • the church has hurt me
  • I don’t need to go to church to be a Christian
  • and much more.

Jesus loves the church and as passionate followers of Jesus, we should love the church also. In this current time of lockdowns and limited church attendance whereby most people are watching church at home, this discussion very directly answers the question of why we should bother with church.
