In today’s world, many Christians wonder, “If I have Jesus and the Bible, do I really need church?” This session explores why the answer is a clear yes. When you join Christ, you join his people—his body, his bride, his family. Church isn’t just a weekly event; it’s a vital part of God’s design for spiritual growth, encouragement, and mission.
Spencer Davis looks at common reasons people pull away from church—like boredom, hypocrisy, unmet needs, or past hurt—and offer a biblical perspective that reframes these struggles. You’ll discover how becoming an active part of a local church isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
Whether you’re questioning the church’s relevance or want to deepen your commitment, this message will help you see the local church not as a burden, but as a gift you’re meant to both receive from and contribute to.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
