Episode 34: Do I Have to Go to Church?

Feb 20, 2026    Matt Rummage, Andrew Patrick, Noah Estes

In this episode of Redefined, we take on a question many people are asking: Do I have to go to church?

Rather than starting with opinions or personal preferences, we go back to Scripture to redefine what the Church truly is. What does the word “church” actually mean? What did God design it to be? And how does that shape the way we think about gathering together as believers?


We also address real and difficult topics like church hurt, the phrase “where two or more are gathered,” accountability, and the importance of unity within the body of Christ. Is church simply a building we attend, or is it something much deeper—something we are called to actively participate in?


Join us as we bring this conversation back to a biblical foundation and explore why the Church is not just an optional add-on to the Christian life, but a vital part of God’s design for His people.
