166: The Search for the Perfect Church

Have you found yourself frustrated, discouraged, or even disillusioned by the state of the western church today? Are you longing for a church that reflects God’s intentions for Christians rather than the flawed leadership of humans and harmful effects of sin?

 

In this conversation, Holly and I are digging into the idea of searching for the perfect church. We’re sharing why so many people are seeking a perfect church, why this search is futile, and what we should be looking for instead.

 

Disclaimer: We are not coming at this as experts in church culture or structure, but rather based on being a pastor’s wife and church participants and leaders over the years. We’re sharing our thoughts based on what we are seeing happen in the current landscape, but we are not claiming to have all the answers.
