9:24Now PlayingFor many, church has become little more than attendance at a live speaking engagement with music. Or a concert with a little inspiration sprinkled in. They come in, they go out, mentally rating the service, and that's it. It's no surprise that even many Christians are feeling like church is optional. However, the biblical vision of being a part of the local church is about much more than consuming ideas and inspiration, it's about contributing to the life of the church and the community through service. Today there is a desperate need for Christians to recognize that church isn't a mere spectator sport, but it is something we're called to be actively involved in, getting our hands dirty and devoting ourselves to the life of the church.

About me:
Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 21 year old guy with a passion for people. I believe the good news is that God is better than we could've ever hoped, and I love sharing this message of grace and love with anyone that will listen. I'm the former Digital Marketing and Video Production Coordinator at a large, evangelical church in Frederick, MD, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. When I'm not writing papers or making YouTube videos, I do freelance work as a Wedding Photographer/Videographer and social media consultant. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs
