This is The 10ofthose Podcast, a show for curious readers seeking to learn more about the Christian literature - how we can read more, read better and use books in our discipleship and evangelism. We discuss all things reading, and its impact on our day to day life, living for Jesus. 10ofthose is a Christian bookseller and publisher, handpicking the best books from across the publisher, selling books that point to Jesus. Everything we sell is discounted and we use our profits to support missions around the world.

Why Do We Go To Church?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why is it that we actually go to church? Not just because we always have. Not just because it’s Sunday. But if everything were stripped back, what would we say remains essential? In this episode, Jonathan and Laurie reflect on the purpose of church life. They talk about corporate worship, preaching, pastoral care, the struggle of inconsistent attendance, the excuses of travel and busyness, and the tension between feelings and faithfulness. They also explore how church shapes us over time, often through ordinary faithfulness rather than dramatic spiritual moments, and why gathering with God’s people is more formative than we sometimes realise.
