Ed Escobar and Bethany FarrellChurch: Why Bother?
May 20, 2024 ● 1 minShare this episode
Research shows that the strongest sources of happiness are the people in our lives. Social support is one of the most important predictors of whether people are happy. Humans long to connect with other people. We can all remember how much COVID taught us- that we need each other!
Christian author Philip Yancey wrote a book called “Church: Why Bother?” in which he discusses the community in relation to faith. He said, “Christianity is not purely intellectually, internal faith. It can only be lived out in community.”
The author of the book of Hebrews also says
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.
We’re designed to be spiritual beings that also need social support. So when it comes to church, by all means do bother to go!
