In this candid pastoral conversation, Pastor Mike responds to an honest question: Would he take his family to a church like the one he was raised in—one that preached a gentler, less rigorous message? Pastor Mike explains that while the church of his childhood once faithfully taught the Bible, it later drifted into theological softness. He offers practical, realistic counsel for believers who don’t have many strong churches nearby: choose the best church within reasonable driving distance and be a godly influence there.
He emphasizes that real church commitment requires more than attendance—it means attending consistently, connecting relationally, serving faithfully, and giving financially. Pastor Mike encourages believers not to keep “testing churches” indefinitely, but to fully invest and trust God to use them as a catalyst for growth and renewal within a local congregation.
