Like it or not, we're not designed to be "Lone Wolf" Christians. God made us for community, and existing in fellowship with other people is an integral part of following Jesus... but finding the right church is hard work. This episode breaks down many of the factors that go into choosing a community of faith, and how to make yourself a part of it.
