⚔️ “The Church Isn’t Broken — We Are.” | Why You Still Need the Body of Christ

It’s trendy in 2025 to deconstruct, criticize, and abandon the Church.
But what if rejecting the Church means rejecting the very system Jesus designed to heal you?

Welcome to the Hopeful Heretic Podcast with Pastor Chris Franke, Senior Pastor of HFF Church in Oklahoma City. In this episode, we tackle one of the most polarizing topics in modern Christianity — “Why the Church Still Matters.”

🔥 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why “church hurt” isn’t new — it’s a human problem, not a God problem.

• How the adversary uses offense and isolation to pull believers from God’s design.

• Why rebellion begins with distrusting that God knows what’s best for His people.

• How Hebrews 10 and 1 Corinthians 12 prove you cannot grow spiritually in isolation.

• Why accountability, structure, and leadership are not oppression — they’re protection.

• How the Church — flawed, messy, and human — remains the only system Jesus calls His Bride.

📖 Key Scriptures:
Hebrews 10:24–25 | 1 Corinthians 12 | Romans 12 | 1 Timothy 3 | Titus 1 | Galatians 6 | Psalm 95 | Matthew 18

💡 Big Takeaway:
You can’t love Jesus and reject His Body.
When you walk away from the Church, you’re walking away from the structure Christ Himself leads.

👑 The Church isn’t perfect — but it’s necessary.
It’s the training ground for saints, the hospital for sinners, and the billboard for the Kingdom of Heaven.
