Show Notes

This week on Cultivate, Charlie and Abigail kicked off a Q&A conversation exploring big questions about the church—what it is, why we gather, and how ancient practices fit in our modern world. We imagined what it would be like if Peter and Paul showed up to a Sunday service, reflecting on how they might react to our worship, teaching, and technology. Drawing from passages like Hebrews 10 and themes throughout the New Testament letters, we discussed how gathering together is not just tradition, but a biblical call meant to shape our faith and keep us grounded in truth.

We also dove into what it means to belong—why membership matters, what responsibilities we have as churchgoers, and how submitting to leadership can help us grow. This episode is full of practical wisdom on living out faith in community, embracing both the challenges and joys of being part of the church. Consider how you connect with others in your faith journey, and where you might take a next step toward deeper community.
