Listen "Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine you could save your life through one simple, regular act. You wouldn’t always want to do it. Every week you’d come up with multiple excuses. The night before would often be a struggle. Same with the morning before. Every time you finish you feel refreshed, energized, eager to undertake that day’s agenda. But then when it came time to do it again, somehow you’d still struggle to do it.Ok. I don’t know what comes to mind for you. Maybe the gym. Maybe a quiet time of Bible reading and prayer. Maybe a call or meeting with a family member or friend. But I’m talking about church and a new book by Rebecca McLaughlin, How Church Could (Literally) Save Your Life, published by Crossway and TGC.Rebecca is widely known to Gospelbound viewers and listeners as author of several of the most encouraging and successful books in TGC history, including Confronting Christianity, The Secular Creed, and Jesus through the Eyes of Women. She’s also a fellow with The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. She returns to Gospelbound to discuss the life-changing research on what makes church good for your health.In This Episode04:30 – What Makes Church Unique08:00 – How many modern moral values come directly from Christianity 16:00 – Real Benefits, Real Belief23:00 – The Church as Family30:00 – Sharing Faith in a Skeptical World45:00 – Healing from Church Hurt48:00 – A Practical Vision for Believers Guest ResourcesHow Church Could Literally Save Your Life by Rebecca McLaughlinRebbeca’s WebsiteConfronting Christianity PodcastFollow Rebecca——SIGN UP for my newsletter, Unseen ThingsHelp The Gospel Coalition renew and unify the contemporary church in the ancient gospel: Donate TodayDon’t miss an episode of Gospelbound with Collin Hansen:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeTGC Updates Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
