It's easy to look for the things that your church doesn't have... we're looking for what we don't like instead of having a more worshipful attitude that says: you know what, the style doesn't matter.
Choosing a new church can feel like navigating a maze. With countless denominations, worship styles, and philosophies, where do you even start? In this episode of the Soberholic Podcast, hosts Roger Boaz and Jason Rice break down their top five tips for finding a church that feels like home. First up, they emphasize the importance of sound doctrine and preaching.
It might seem tricky to figure this out initially, but Roger and Jason suggest attending multiple services and chatting with members or staff about the church's beliefs. Often, a church's doctrinal statement can be found on its website, giving you a clear picture of its core values. Next, the duo dives into worship styles. While it's easy to get hung up on whether the music suits your taste, they encourage listeners to focus more on the spirit of worship.
It's about finding a place where you can connect spiritually, even if the musical style isn't your first choice. Mission involvement is another crucial factor. Roger and Jason believe that the best churches are those that actively involve their members in both local and foreign missions. Look for a church that aligns with this belief if community service is important to you. Building meaningful relationships through service is also key.
According to the hosts, serving alongside fellow members helps forge bonds that go beyond just attending Sunday services. It's these relationships that can make a church truly feel like home. Finally, Roger and Jason advise taking your time in this search. They believe that God isn't an author of confusion, so praying for peace and guidance is essential. If you're torn between options, prayer can help you find clarity.
Whether you're new to Christianity or a seasoned believer, this episode offers practical advice for anyone seeking a new spiritual community. Tune in to hear more from Roger and Jason on making your search for a church less daunting.
