"If you're going with 'good enough,' you ain't going with good enough."
Is the Church just a collection of preferences, or is it something more?
In this candid and powerful episode of Anchored in Christ, Doug Hannah sits down with his pastor, Curt Hoover, to share some of the wise things his pastor says about theological complacency. We are constantly seeking what's easiest, most comfortable, or simply "good enough"—but as Pastor Curt warns with a phrase that sticks: "If you're going with 'good enough,' you ain't going with good enough."
Pastor Curt and Doug discuss the sobering reality of church rifts and division and what happens when local congregations prioritize trendy performances over the enduring gifts of Christ. The Church is not a business that can "open up shop down the street" when things get difficult; it is Christ’s own, beloved Bride, and "there is truth out there."
If you are struggling with a lack of assurance, questioning modern church trends, or searching for the clear, historical truth of the Christian faith, this episode is essential listening. Don't settle for "good enough" when you can be Anchored in Christ.
