“I Don’t Need Church” – Yes, You Do | The Perdue Podcast

“You Weren’t Made to Be a Lone Sheep.”

Pastors Aaron and Heather Perdue tackle the common statement “I don’t need to go to church,” breaking down Matthew 9:36 and why Jesus compares people without a shepherd to sheep who are bewildered, harassed, and helpless. This teaching on Christian identity and community explores why offense — not doctrine — is the real reason most people drift away from church, how to find a healthy church home using a simple three-visit test, and why the “I am the church” mindset misses what Scripture actually teaches about belonging to a body of believers. Aaron and Heather share personal stories of committing to local church community, from riding two buses to Sunday service to finding lifelong friendships through simply showing up. A grounded, practical word for anyone on a faith journey feeling disconnected or unsure where they belong. Subscribe to The Perdue Podcast for more real talk, kingdom walk.
