When you're looking for a healthy church

I know it can be daunting to get plugged into a new church, especially if you've recently been hurt by one. But whether you're new to the faith or have been a lifelong church-goer, finding a healthy church is essential to maturing spiritually and growing in your walk with God. Until several months ago, I didn't even know what truly defined a "healthy" church by biblical standards, so in this episode I want to give you six markers of a flourishing body so that you can at least have a baseline of what to look for in your quest.

Above all I encourage you to study this topic for yourself, don't just take my word for it! Some helpful resources and places to start are the book "Nine Marks of a Healthy Church" by Mark Dever, Ephesians 4, Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12, 1 Timothy 3, and 1 Peter 5. I pray the Lord gives you wisdom and insight as you study, and I'd love to hear the markers you find as well!

As always, thanks for listening. :)
