I became the exact kind of Christian I once resented — confident, certain, armed with Scripture… but missing the heart of Christ.

In this episode of More to Church, I share the personal story behind this podcast: growing up as a pastor’s kid in a conservative church, entering pastoral ministry, and the moment an elder confronted me with a truth that changed everything.

This isn’t a church-bashing video. It’s an honest conversation about tradition, doctrine, inherited assumptions, and what happens when you begin reading the Bible without denominational gridlines.

Why do we do church the way we do?
Why Sunday?
Why once a week?
Which beliefs are clearly biblical — and which are historical, cultural, or simply assumed?

If you’ve ever:
Questioned modern church structure
Wrestled with tradition vs Scripture
Felt disillusioned but still deeply committed to Christ
Wanted to seek God beyond tribal loyalty
Struggled with defending doctrine without reflecting Jesus

This episode is for you.

We talk about:
Spiritual deconstruction without losing faith
The difference between sincerity and accuracy
How tradition shapes theology
Repenting not just in behavior, but in motivation
Seeking God with your whole heart
The goal of this channel isn’t controversy. It’s clarity.
Not division — but deeper faith through honest examination.
If you're spiritually awake but still rooted in Christ… welcome. We're just getting started.
Subscribe for thoughtful discussions on church history, biblical interpretation, faith, and what it really means to follow Jesus beyond inherited assumptions.
