Many Christians are younger Christians are asking: Do I really need to attend church to follow Jesus?

In this episode of Dear Pastor Meshach, I respond to a young mom whose family stopped going after the pandemic — and now feels the pressure from relatives who say she’s “ruining her kids’ faith.”

We’ll talk about:

• How the Bible defines church

• The difference between attendance and discipleship

• What gathering actually looked like in the early church

• How to find a spiritual community that truly forms you into Christlikeness

Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or haven’t stepped inside in years, this is a conversation worth having.

What about you? Has church attendance helped or hurt your walk with Jesus? Share in the comments

I’d love to hear your story.
