Still haven't found, what I'm looking for. Many of us grew up going to church, but what does that really mean? Has "going" to church answered what we are looking for? We don't want to push the beauty of church under a bus, however, some of what we've been doing is NOT really church. This part 2 conversation between Joey and Johno looks at some of what's missing. If the church is filled with imperfect people, why does it look so perfect in its performance? We want and believe the church should exist, but there are many people we talk to who don't need a better song or a nicely polished sermon. Our gathered times on Sunday are missing something that brings about the "fullness" of Christ. That something, which is missing, can only be found in the people of God. Church will never be a solo event; church is community... it's body... it's one another. We talk about some of our personal issues and we are looking to give our neighbors a place to find church again, which might be a lot closer than any of us really know.

If you are struggling with "church" and ideas about what it is or isn't, please reach out and share with us your story. We believe Jesus loves the church and wants the best for her in this world. You can leave us a voice message at https://anchor.fm/johnathan-thomas
