Host: Chris Fabry

We continue our long-running series on doctrine for dummies. This subject comes from an email that said a loved one has stopped going to church. They’re still in a Bible study. They still read their Bible. They’ve just stopped going to church because of the music or the preaching or the hardness of the pews. Sound like someone you know? Let’s ask the question: What is church? Why does it exist? Why should I go? Talk about it with us!
