After a short break for Holy Week, we wrap up our series on church membership by answering real questions from our community. In this episode, Alyn talks about how to discern which church to commit to, what membership at Goodly actually means, how spiritual gifts grow and mature, why elders matter, and why Goodly is taking its time in appointing them. Along the way, he unpacks the heart behind membership, not as pressure or performance, but as clarity, commitment, and a shared life of discipleship. If you’ve ever wrestled with belonging, church hurt, leadership, or what it means to truly plant yourself in a local church, this conversation offers a thoughtful framework for thinking through those questions.
