Why I Still I Love The Church

Sep 4, 2025    Creative Pastor Cory Hester

🎙️ Welcome to Not Your Typical Church Podcast with Pastor Cory — a place for real conversations about church, life, leadership, and everything in between.

In Episode 2, Pastor Cory shares why he still loves the Church — even with all its imperfections. Drawing from personal experiences, biblical truth, and a few battle-tested metaphors, he unpacks how the Church is:

🏥 a hospital for the hurting, not a museum for the perfect

⚔️ a battleship on a mission, not a cruise ship for comfort

🏗 a construction site in progress, not a stage set for show

If you’ve ever been hurt by the church, questioned your place in it, or wondered if it’s still relevant today, this episode will challenge your perspective and encourage your heart.

🔑 Key Topics:

Why the Church matters in an imperfect world

The difference between comfort and calling

What it means to be part of God’s ongoing work

How to re-engage if you’ve been burned out or hurt
