I found a church last year after not going for YEARS. Now I’m there so much, and am always one of the lasts to leave. This community has impacted my life in such a large way; it’s such a blessing to experience the love of Christ with people that love Him just as much as you do. If you haven’t been in a while, please do not forsake the assembly. There’s a reason we need each other. Join a church, and serve, and commune with the body of Christ. It’s vital

Charles Stanley definitely left a mark on mankind. He was on point and the thing that I liked about him most is he NEVER brought politics into the pulpit. I think that is my biggest pet peeve about how ppl use the pulpit to get their agenda’s known. I’ve stopped listening to two pastors that I like that have sound doctrine (it’s unfortunate too) because they brought politic into their messages. Our political system is definitely set up by man even though they can’t do anything without God allowing it. But voting is personal and to me and should remain personal. Because I study the Bible daily, when I hear a pastor continue to misrepresent I stop listening to them. My husband and I are trying to find a church now because I feel it’s important to be present. But I do attend a Bible study weekly, have a prayer partner and listen to strong teachings. I think we just have to pray for repentance for ppl that don’t share the true gospel because we all are fallen and for sure need Christ. I think sometimes it’s pride but only God can correct that in ppl, but prayer goes a long way.

My relationship is closer to God and I’ve learned what forgiveness meant. People please go to Church. If Christian’s have hurt you please know that God did not. He will restore you! Also pray for those who hurt you and also pray for yourself to not hurt others as well.

I heard this couple of years ago: for the church to become yours - you have to find a need and start serving

This makes me think about itching ears! I also believe that the “boring” preaching teaches discipline, and reveals things about where you are in your flesh and spiritual walk in Christ. The same for listening to gospel music. It’s like are you really able to worship God or are you in your emotions. Again this is my own personal perspective via the things I myself encountered. This conversation really blessed me. I enjoy these kinds of conversations.

Yea, I remember Fracnis chan talking about someone complaining to him how they "Didn't like worship today" and he was like " That's OK, we weren't worshipping you." That's always stuck with me now when I hear people complain about worship they fear of the Lord comes. It's nice to have skilled worshipers, but that's not always possible. At the end of the day, it's about our hearts.

First of all, I would just like to say that I love your podcast and I’ve learned so much from listening to you. There have been times I have literally been driving in my car and pulled over to write something down that you said. Y’all touched on something today that I see a lot in my own community: Consumer Christianity … how many people bounce around looking for the trendiest church, or the most entertaining pastors. I think we should all pray for wisdom and discernment, and seek pastors and leaders who point us to Jesus and speak the Word first and foremost. If they aren’t teaching scripture more than anything else this should be a red flag. We need to get away from going to church with an attitude of selfish fulfillment and look for churches that are building us as disciples of Christ. Y’all touched on this so eloquently today. I think this is an important conversation to keep having. Thank you so much for your ministry and using your gifts to teach and guide us!

I was just talking about consumerist church (I said capitalistic church) the other day - but from a different POV. How unfortunately a lot of church leadership will invest in discipling a congregant only if there's a return on investment. For example, "I will teach you to read and interpret the text so you can join the pastoral team or lead a sector of the church", but not necessarily because they want that congregant to grow and mature in their own walk with Christ. This podcast definitely humbled me though. For so long I thought it was Godly to point out all the flaws in church, but I seldom did anything about it or even prayed fervently on it.

That one scripture will get us every time. It’s okay to be frustrated with your fellow Body when we act outside of what God desires of us. But remember, it’s HARD out here being a believer in a broken world. I also gotta add, dudes in the streets are generally operating in an illegal space. Which means they are also operating in deception, off bat. While their standards or codes of conduct might be something they “honor” or abide by- it’s easy because it’s worldly/ flesh-based- and inherently wicked (saying wicked sounds so churchy, but 🤷🏾‍♀️). We, the Church, are held to a higher standard, where we, every day, every minute have to operate outside of what seems natural to us (and sometimes the world around us). It’s hard. We be sucking at it ALL the time. All of us. Every day. And in the Church, that trying is exposed to your peers at a different level. I say that to say, try not to compare the natural deception of the world to the vulnerability of The Church. You’ve got this cause God has got you. Walking with you-- and, honestly, showing you areas to pray about. Cause The Body of Christ really do be messy. Lol

I’m musically inclined, and I’m extremely sensitive to sound that i become overstimulated when things are off. The church i attend, the worship team is so amazing that I feel every moment, and I bawl my heart out every service. The pastor’s messages and deliverance are great, and I learn a lot from the services. His voice though, has a particular tone that is sharp to the ear and without soft contrast. Almost like nails on a chalkboard for me for some reason. I feel bad for feeling that way. I always see it through because it’s not about me; I came there for Jesus, not my comfort. I just feel bad for thinking those thoughts about the pastor at all though.

I came back to faith in 2018 and have been reading and studying the Bible ever since and growing my relationship with Christ.

I know God commands us to have fellowship and we were not meant to follow Christ in isolation. I have felt the loneliness since my family doesn't have strong faith and I have few friends who share the love of God like me. Last week I found a church close to me and I plan to try it out Sunday! Im really excited and hopeful but I also have some anxiety about going alone and making friends. Im shy and Im not the best at initiating conversation. Please pray for me that this is a good fit and that im finally able to find friends and a community.

If I could give advice on visiting churches that has helped me in the past, it sometimes helps to reach out by email in advance and to speak with the pastor or an elder. That way should you go in person, it isn't a "cold visit" but a "warm" one where someone there already knows a bit about you and why you're there. You can also ask questions in advance and know a bit more about them, and in speaking with you they may think of someone they could connect you with so that you don't feel like a complete fish out of water.

There is a video on YT made by a Catholic content creator that was on how the protestant notion of worship isn't really worship. As he explained himself, I started to understand what he meant. In many non-denominational/protestant churches, "worship" is synonymous with "music". Recently, I had the chance to visit an orthodox church, both out of curiosity and out of a desire to better understand my brothers and sisters in the faith from other church traditions. It was during that entire 3+ hour long service that I truly began to understand what that creator meant. The collective chants of scripture professing the tenets of our faith, the prayers for the global church and the orthodox priesthood for fidelity to the teachings of Christ, the collective prayer for the forgiveness of sin, the sing-song chants of praise and glory to the triune God, and more. In that moment I felt what I experienced was true worship. I have so many questions following that experience like why more non-denominational churches do not include prayers for fidelity to the word for church leadership as part of their regular service? Why don't we collectively profess the tenets of our faith, especially if we are "seeker friendly"? If someone unfamiliar with Christianity had walked into that orthodox church, they would leave knowing exactly what it is Christ taught and the Church practices because it is laid out plainly. In most modern protestant churches that I have attended, it's "worship music --> announcements --> teaching --> closing prayer -->fellowship, maybe". And Sundays are centered around the teaching, which isn't bad, but could risk becoming a glorified extended Bible study with a mini concert at the start. It would be nice to hear thoughts on how to bring more worship into the non-denominational church that extends beyond music.

Thank you for your thought provoking comment. May I suggest we keep in the forefront of our minds what biblical “worship” actually is? Perhaps it would help us to spend time with The Lord searching and researching the scripture on the meaning of worship, where it’s mentioned in the Bible, how it’s expressed and what are we commanded to do with it. Wor(th)ship is declaring the *worth of GOD our Father through the gift and might of JESUS. If a church service Is about our collectively voicing our prayers and needs, speaking our faith to The Lord, declaring our commitment to Him, as well-meaning and obedient as that iis, is that “worship?” Is that declaring the magnificence, worth, glory, majesty, power, dominion that all belong to Him... and to Him only? It might be helpful for us to understand what “wor(th)ship” is to express it in the highest, holiest way.

Great discussion! 1. Never Forget Jesus in Our Teachings whether pulling from Old or New Testament. 2. Never Forget the Church is God's Bride and being a part of the Body of Believers is important. 3. Sit Under/Follow someone that points you to Jesus. ❤🙌🏽

The worship team topic is a tough one...people are leaving the church because of it.

The "kingdom of God" is what we are called to and it's the same that we are called through. We understand God's will at different levels of reciprocity...and it all can take place in the kingdom of God.

So, I hear you both saying Jesus is at the center of the story not me. I entered His story. He should be the foremost influencer in my life.

I can hear a bad note from the choir or praise team, but I pray through that.

I’ve been a Christian for a while now as I came to Christ around 18 years ago, and my experience with 90% of churches is that community didn’t play a part in it. Everyone smiled and gave high fives at church but during the week you heard from no one and then it was rinse/repeat on Sunday’s. When my son was born for example, no one was there for us from the church, even though we attended a megachurch at the time. In fact, I had more non Christian friends because to me and my family, they showed more genuineness than Christians in the church. My personal opinion is that it’s mainly because of familiarity within groups or “cliques” where Christians didn’t want to open up to newer people (as opposed to staying in the comfortable group they grew up with) is because it was a lot of work, at least this was my experience with most Christians. I’m now attending a church with my wife and children where we are blessed to have some community in the church, but the sad thing is that it took going to many churches in order to find a church that we could have community with. So I’ve written a song about it called “Community”, and here’s a link to my music video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZektch_nqu-hqw.htmlsi=iUSWrmkv-aKVE4R7 I’ve also explained the meaning behind my song “Community” in a video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ioGFqbWpcqnFcs4.htmlsi=Fo7zupKQYifq1t6H

A much needed conversation! Minute by minute, both of you are giving great examples of what is needed in the body of Christ. One key takeaway for me was the importance of discipleship! I grew up learning that salvation is free, but discipleship cost everything. This conversation is EVERYTHING! I am grateful for true teachers like you both, you are relevant to the Kingdom!

"God will use what hurt you to heal you" -Preston When Preston said this I was rocked to my soul. I have been praying over the intimacy in my marriage.

Preston's simple statement even though he was talking about church hurt hit me so deeply and answered my prayer. The thought that God can use our covenant intimacy to help heal this part of him is such a gift to me. Thank you guys for what you do. It is such a blessing!

YOu are so correct, Jackie! You are right on with social media is making it hard for the local pastor. I am having a hard time finding a local pastor that has the kind of teaching I have gotten from people like you, Tony Evans, Levi Lusko, Franis Chan, etc. It makes it hard to listen to someone that isn't on that same caliber.

Every episode is always amazing !! Jackie I felt that fire girl lol I get so annoyed with the motivational speaking trend in the churches today that strays away from God purpose of having His Word here in writing for us. But side note “google : what is exegetical” 😭😭❤️

Their teaching and ministry always bless me. I love the truth, humility, and grace that is always poured out. I think as far as their conversation about the preachers who give "both" John Bevere is a wonderful example. Interesting enough, their podcast is a great example of focusing in on the truth versus entertaining the body and shows that the truth can be and is the most captivating thing.

Tbh until the church becomes a real family willing to lay down our lives for one another (1 Thess 2:8, Phil 2;17, 1 Peter 4:9, ), many people see it as nothing more than a social club thrown in with some preaching and worship. About 23:27- there are people who are coming from a whole family where they are the only believer and they are losing everything in terms of fundamental support. They look to the church, but many times its run more like a self-interested business. Then they walk away disillusioned. Thank you for approaching this with a nuanced understanding and the prayers at the end. Bless you both for the work you’re doing.

I started a virtual Bible study group and we’d meet twice a week, fast together, pray together virtually. We’ve done this for the past three years. Each one of us felt we grew so much. We are still doing studies virtually but meet on Sundays for service. God has been bringing people to service who have been giving there lives to Christ!! We are in awe of what He is doing!!!!

17:49 -17:56 YAAASS! Preachers are more into being clever than theologically sound.. This is why I can't sit in a church for 5 to ten minutes and know at " the warm up," whether I'm going to stay or not. I wish Lisa Fields invited y'all to " Courageous Convos," in D. C. at the end of the month...

This is such a well needed discussion. I always say that every sermon should be connected to the gospel. From Genesis to Revelation, it's all about Jesus!!

That was so good Preston! People want to be entertained instead of straight Teaching without all the extra. Give me Jesus and the Word without fillers most of the time. That’s enough for me.

All of this 🙌🏽!!!! I am so glad you two are talking about this. I leave a church that only preaches their opinions for the first 30mins and only 5mins of the Word. But thank God I read my Word, I pray and I am round people who are grounded in their faith. The church is for the sick not to be entertained ! I need Jesus the Lamb and Lion because life can be HARD.

I'm glad that she said this because I've been frustrated about the GOSPEL NOT being preached!!!

Being around community is to receive different perspectives of the word to get a deeper understanding of God's word.

I missed being in the building every Sunday and fellowshiping with my Christ Family during Covid.

I was really challenged during the pandemic, because I went from going to church ⛪ every Sunday, bible study on Wednesday and having that connective fellowship, and when the doors closed it was like a culture shock. I'm third generation COGIC (Church of God in Christ) so I was excited and anticipating going back to church as usual. I think adjusting to having church differently was tough

Thanks for speaking on this. Because the church is faltering, for lack of assembling together. The Body has become lazy and the world is gaining ground. No prayer means there is no influence of the Spirit to overcome in the lives of the Body and the world. We got to understand our purpose in coming together. Basic reason is Christ and get to know Him better.

Yes to Tony Evans! So good, he made me like church 😂 OCBF has what you all were talking about with good worship and great preaching

"you stain god's carpet" i almost choked on my food!!!

I love my church. The community is great, the teaching is solid but great googly moogly…worship is so bad it hurts, and it lasts longer than the sermon most times 😫

Do not despise the fellowship of fellow believers reminds, also iron sharpeneth iron comes to mind always to remind me that going to church is a necessity and not an option for Christians

Thank you for that prayer. I’m currently at a church I want to leave that Good hasn’t released me from. Thank you. 🙏🏾 51:24

1. Preaching/teaching the gospel. 2. Good praise and worship . 3. Loving Fellowship f you can find all 3 in one Church than praise God . For today, it's difficult, especially if there is no offer salvation, but church membership is #1 . Lord helps us 🙏 & Thank you, Perry's

The Perry couple is so in depth in conversation and insightful with explanation of God's Holy Word. They are both wonderful and intelligent to view!!❤❤❤. They are great students of God's Word. They represent truth, authenticity and modern about the millennial church and lifestyle of post pandemic Christianity ...Love u both 😊

omg that musician's ocd, i TOTALLY FEEL YOU ON THAT jackie lol

This random conversation was one of the richest conversations on the topic of the church that I’ve heard. The body is perplexingly complex and yet each joint (member) supplies. I absolutely love both of you testifying to the answer, which is to find Jesus at the root of all things underpinning corporate worship. What he came for. What he did. How he acts and what he leads us in doing and being for his glory. Who we belong to and the inheritance in Christ Jesus that we have. THANK YOU 🙏

The First 5 min of the Perry’s random convo I’m dying the Whitney movie /Scamanda story has me laughing so loud😂😂😂😅 I truly love these gifts to the body of CHRIST🤣😂

I want to listen to that Podcast but I can't find it 😢. Can anybody help me find it 😊

It’s amazing to me how you both are amazing God is amazing When I almost lost everything (by mistakes through my addiction) I remember telling my mom I was getting “help” from everywhere and none of it was directly from scripture or God in fact all of it was outside of God so My mom would pray for me and with me I remember being lost it was horrible I’m so grateful for God saving me and my family we are all together happy God bless you both always Thank you

it was a step above Lifetime because….she played a really good crackhead 😂 we’re barley a minute in

Should bringing the gospel to community be about them showing us our desperate need for a relationship with God in our daily lives.

These preacher influencers are like eating McDonald’s. You think you fed yourself but there’s no real sustenance.

SAY THAT SIS!! The spirit in you can tell. You have a sense of emptiness when you leave. I’ve been there. That was God letting me know that there was something more to Him. I appreciate him for leading me to a place that has transformed my life and still is today! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

THIS!🗣️💯

This is so precious.

Jesus identifies so much with The Church that coming at The Church is exactly like coming at JESUS! - Jackie Hill Perry

The opening of this podcast has tickled my entire soul! 😂😂😂 Saints & The Aints 🎶 & Whitney! 💀 Sir Preston!

Yes! I have a problem with that too. What are we here for? I'm hungry out here!!! I just wasted an outfit and gas.

I'm not able to get out because of my physical ailments. But I do enjoy watching Gary Hamrick he teaches the Bible from cover to cover and that's a predominantly all white church. I have very much matured in my walk with the Lord

I didn't even act like a toenail😂😂 Being in a physical church is a reflection of the spiritual reality of us being part of Christ's body. Wow
