71 - How To "Choose A Church" with guest Joshua Creel
How do you choose a church when every congregation claims to follow Christ yet teaches different things? Joshua Creel from the University Church of Christ in Tampa joins us to tackle this crucial question through the lens of Galatians.
The conversation revolves around three essential criteria for selecting a church: determining whether they genuinely seek to please Christ rather than people, verifying their teachings originate from Jesus and his apostles (not modern teachers), and observing if they truly live out biblical principles.
We explore the tension many families face when selecting a church—balancing the desire for youth programs and peer relationships against the need for sound doctrine. While having a strong community of believers is valuable, Joshua reminds us that these benefits should flow naturally from a congregation's commitment to biblical truth.
