Ep 65 Why You Need To Go To Church

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke examines the quiet assumption many professing Christians live by: since I believe in God, church is optional. Walking through key passages like Hebrews 10, Acts 2, and 1 Corinthians 12, the episode unpacks the biblical pattern of gathered worship and explains why Christianity was never designed to be private, isolated, or purely individual.This episode challenges the lazy Christian to reconsider the idea that personal Bible reading replaces church. It offers a clear call to alignment, urging believers to see church not as a weekly add-on, but as an essential part of spiritual formation and obedience.Send a textSupport the showThank you for joining me on Chasing Masculinity.

Ep 62 MACA - Make America Christian Again: Wearing your faith on your chest

In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores the idea behind “Make America Christian Again” and what it actually means to wear your faith on your chest.
