Your Role in Creating Healthy Churches Podcast | Part 1

How can you help make your church healthy? 💡

In this episode of the Hopeful Heretic Podcast (HHP), Pastor Chris Franke from HFF Church in Oklahoma City challenges listeners to move from consumers to contributors — from spectators to participants in the Body of Christ.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve unpacked what defines a healthy church — a Christ-centered foundation, sound doctrine, authentic community, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. But today we turn the question back on ourselves: 👉 What can YOU do to make your church healthy?

🔑 Key Points Covered:

1️⃣ Be a Participant, Not a Consumer Stop asking, “What did I get out of church?” and start asking, “What did I contribute to it?” (Hebrews 10:24–25)

2️⃣ Be Rooted in the Word, Not in Opinion A healthy church requires spiritually rooted members who anchor themselves in the truth of Scripture — not emotion, not popularity. (2 Timothy 3:16–17)

3️⃣ Build Relationships That Heal, Not Hurt Unity isn’t about perfection; it’s about forgiveness, humility, and reconciliation. (Ephesians 4:2–3)

Healthy churches don’t just happen by accident — they’re built on people, not programs. When you live biblically, love humbly, and serve faithfully, you bring health to the house of God.

So before asking, “Is my church healthy?” ask yourself:

“Am I helping it become healthy?”

🎧 Welcome to the HHP Podcast — where we talk all things Bible, church, and family. We may be right. We may be heretical. But that’s for you to decide.
