Welcome to The For The Gospel Podcast, where we're all about providing sound doctrine

for everyday people.

I'm your host, Kosti Hin, and on today's episode, I want to talk to you about how to

leave a church the right way.

We get a lot of questions about this, and it's really important to talk through it biblically.

Now, maybe you're listening to your own, I'm not leaving my church, so this is a waste

of my time.

Hold on a second, because you are going to talk to someone someday or you have already

who's thinking about leaving their church or your church, and you need to be biblically

equipped to have a rational, logical, most important, biblical conversation.

And this episode will give you some really good talking points to think through.

Now leaving a church is a very common experience for people today.

There's a number of reasons people leave churches, the list is too long to go through,

but here's a few non-conflicting reasons, things that don't trigger lots of conflict, job

relocation.

That happens all the time to people, they move to a new place, and let's not overestimate

our importance wherever we are as a pastor or a church, there are other great churches

different places.

So when people come and say, hey, I'm moving from there to here, from here to there, and

we say, well, there's no church like ours, yeah, there is likely, if there isn't, you

know, that can be another conversation you might want to talk about moving your family

somewhere where there's no faithful church.
