#48 - When Familiarity Kills Faith

Aug 10, 2026    Pastor Brandon Ware

Can you be close to the things of God—and still miss Jesus?


In this episode of The Sunday Rewind, we unpack Jesus’ rejection in His hometown of Nazareth and the danger of allowing familiarity to produce unbelief. We talk about why people sometimes focus on secondary questions to avoid the bigger issue, how Christians can respond when they don’t have every answer, and why simply growing up around church doesn’t equal a personal relationship with Christ.


We also explore how churches can become more committed to traditions and preferences than their mission—and why genuine worship should always move us toward reaching others.


At the end of the day, the most important question isn’t whether we have every answer. It’s this: What are you going to do with Jesus?
