My wife and I have been on a spiritual journey of late. We started at a new church over the summer time. The church is based off a home church model that meets as a larger community every other week. I really like the model of the church since it has challenged me to really get into relationship with those in my church group. The problem as I can see it right now is that even though the church challenges me it is not like the fundamental church that I grew up attending. My wife has really struggled with the part time nature of the church and the community. I keep telling her that it is all about relationship. I know this is true since my cousin is a regular of the same church. The model only works if we really work at making our Sundays about the relationship with the group and with the community at large. But like anything in life it takes a lot of work to make this church work for our family.
But is my wife, right? As the spiritual leader of my household is this experiment with church not good for my family? I have been feeling that I am not growing closer to God just forgetting Him. But would a normal church help me with that?
