What Christians Get Wrong When Choosing a Church | H.B. Charles

Wretched Radio with Todd Friel

Show Notes

Are you looking for a faithful church—or simply a group of people you feel comfortable with? Todd and Pastor H.B. Charles discuss church diversity, worship preferences, and the kind of preaching that reaches the heart.

Segment 1

• Should your church reflect your neighborhood?

• Should churches deliberately pursue ethnic diversity?

• When does seeking people like you become a problem?

Segment 2

• Are your worship preferences biblical?

• Why fellowship beyond your own age group?

• One church, two very different responses to preaching.

Segment 3

• An unexpected gesture begins a lasting friendship.

• Can you hear someone’s hurt without debating it?

• Are you listening—or just preparing your rebuttal?

Segment 4

• Is your pastor preaching or merely lecturing?

• Can quiet preaching still stir your heart?

• How should a pastor prepare his heart before preaching?
