In this episode Natalie Runion and Bernie Dake address the question, “Do I even need a church?” Maybe you’ve walked away from your previous church, and it was a painful ending. It may be tempting to just give up on finding a new congregation but today we encourage you to not give up on the Bride of Christ. https://natalierunion.com/ https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife   Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Part of Natalie Runion’s story is that she had a platform to share her gift of leading worship only to have the opportunity removed. For anyone who has experienced this- it can be earth-shattering, especially if we have put our identity in a calling. https://natalierunion.com/ https://salvationarmysoundcast.org/wordsoflife Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
