Finding a Home in the Local Church with Dusty Smith- Episode 50

This is EPISODE 50 of our show! Can you even believe it?!

Fifty episodes is a fun and special milestone in podcasting, and we've got a fun and special episode for you to celebrate!

Episode 50 is also our season 3 finale, and we are talking about what it looks like to live both healing and whole in our churches. There is no one better to join me for this conversation than Pastor Dusty Smith.

Pastor Dusty and his wife, Jennifer, planted Depot Church in North Carolina nearly 12 years ago, where he is lead pastor. Dusty and Jennifer have four sons, ages 5-16.

A few spoilers for you: Dusty is my pastor. I have known him for two decades, and I can tell you with certainty that 1- he is a trustworthy person with the utmost integrity, and 2- our church is growing and thriving under his leadership.

Join Dusty and I as we talk about:

• why you need a local church
• how to find a church
• balancing serving the church with serving our families
• being disappointed in our church experience
• the difference between church hurt and spiritual abuse (and some red flags to look out for!)
• staying committed to your local church when it's hard, and when it's time to walk away
• how to find your way back to the Church
