HOW to Rush the Local Church

Howdy friends & welcome to the third episode of the Rush the Local Church Podcast! We seek to RUSH the local church because we are racing there as fast as we can. In this day and age, a good Godly community can be so hard to find. We seek to help incoming freshman and current college students at both Blinn and Texas A&M University find Christian community in the Bryan/College Station area. 

Local Church “Hunting”

When searching for your church home, you have to begin the process of what we like to call “church hunting” or “church shopping.” Church shopping can be slightly overwhelming if you do not have a plan and you do not know what you are looking for. Once you know how to prioritize and make your church “shopping” list.

How to make your “shopping” list

During this third episode, you will get to hear from my sweet friend Reese Benton. Reese is a Communications major at Texas A&M and proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2025! Reese is a freshman who recently went through the entire process of hunting for a church, so she has a fresh perspective on how to steward that well.

We are going to talk about what we put on our shopping lists and how we prioritize the items on it. There is no such thing as a perfect church, but there is a church for everyone that will meet their needs. Reese is going to share how she made her list, how she evaluated the churches she visited, and how she chose her church home at First Baptist Church Bryan.

 

Ready to start hunting? Not sure what to put on your list? No clue where to even begin? We boldly invite you to join us as we seek to answer these questions. Stop going through life alone & let’s RUSH the local church TOGETHER!

Rush Godly Community in the Local Church

Howdy friends and welcome to the second episode of the Rush the Local church podcast! We seek to RUSH the local church because we are racing there as fast as we can. In this day and age, a good Godly community can be so hard to find. We seek to help incoming freshman and current college students at both Blinn and Texas A&M University find Christian community in the Bryan/College Station area.

Finding Community in College

As college students, we are going to meet all kinds of people in all kinds of places. We have the opportunity to build friendships in:

• classes
• organizations
• dorms/apartments
• local church

While all these spheres of influence are incredible opportunities to find community, there is something crucial to having Godly community as a foundation in our lives.

In this second episode, we will get to talk to my sweet friend Taylor Bench. Taylor is an Education major at Texas A&M and proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2024! She serves as a Missional Community Group leader through her local church, Restoration Church Bryan. Missional Community Groups, known as MCG’s, serve to create opportunities for fellowship, spiritual growth, and service in response to the Gospel. She is extremely passionate about fostering community the way the Lord calls us to.

Taylor and I are going to talk about why Godly community is important and how the local church is the best place to foster it. We are going to talk about what scripture tells us about fellowship and how we can respond accordingly. We are going to discuss how her MCG defines success and how they hold each other accountable as they strive for true Godly community.

Are you desiring Godly community? Not sure what Godly community looks like? Want to know what scripture tells us about fellowship?  We boldly invite you to join us as we seek to answer these questions! Stop going through life alone & let’s RUSH the local church TOGETHER!
