What Makes a Healthy Church? | Part 1

What really makes a church healthy? 🎯 In this episode of the Hopeful Heretic Podcast (HHP), Pastor Chris Franke from HFF Church in Oklahoma City dives into Part 1 of a two-part series exploring what the Bible actually says about a healthy church.

Drawing from Matthew 28, Acts 2, and 1 Corinthians 3, this teaching cuts through the noise of modern church culture — beyond fog machines, donuts, and Instagram hype — to uncover the true biblical foundations of a Christ-centered community.

You’ll discover: 1️⃣ Why Jesus must be the foundation of every church (1 Corinthians 3:11) 2️⃣ The role of biblical authority and sound doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16) 3️⃣ The power of authentic community that practices real discipleship (Acts 2:42)

Because if we don’t know what makes a church healthy, how can we know if we’re in one?

Join the conversation, drop a comment, and share your thoughts on what defines a truly healthy church. We may be right, we may be heretical — but that’s for you to decide.
