When Believers Disobey Hebrews 10:25 | Peggie B Hensley
When Believers Disobey Hebrews 10:25
You know, it’s funny how we Christians can read a Bible verse and immediately think, “That’s definitely for someone else.” Take Hebrews 10:25: “Do not forsake assembling together…” “Oh, that’s for those other people,” we tell ourselves. “I’m sure God’s not talking about me.”

Let’s break down the reasons we convince ourselves of this:

    1.    “My couch is my congregation.” Look, if your small group consists of you, your dog, and a coffee mug that says Blessed and Highly Caffeinated, you might be missing the point. Just saying.
    2.    “I can worship God in nature.” True, you can! But hiking doesn’t count as assembling unless the squirrels are forming a worship band.
    3.    “Church people are messy.” Yep, they are. But spoiler alert: so are you. That’s why we all need Jesus—and each other!
    4.    “I’m too busy.” Mmm, funny how you weren’t too busy to binge-watch that entire Netflix series last weekend. (No judgment, but God sees your “busy.”)
    5.    “I have my own way of doing church.” Cool, but is your “church” challenging you to grow, holding you accountable, or… just letting you chill in your PJs every Sunday?

Honestly, Hebrews 10:25 isn’t about checking a box or attending out of guilt—it’s about being part of a spiritual family. We’re all a little messy, busy, and awkward, but that’s kind of the beauty of it.

So how do we start obeying this verse?

        Pray about it. Ask God to help you find a church that He approves of. Big or small, there’s a body of believers for you.
        Commit to showing up. It’s not about perfection; it’s about being present. Even if it’s hard to get there, you’ll be glad you did.
        Plug in. Join a Bible study, volunteer, or at least learn someone’s name! Church isn’t just about sitting through a sermon—it’s about community.
        Start small if you need to. Haven’t been in years? No pressure—go once a month and build from there.
        Remember the purpose. It’s not just for you. Your presence encourages others, and who knows? You might be someone else’s answered prayer that day.

So next Sunday, maybe show up to “assemble” in person. And bring some donuts. (Okay, maybe not, but no one’s turning them down.)

From Entrepreneur to Empowerment: My Journey to Health and Purpose”

I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I sold my first painting while still in high school, and as a young mom married to a coal miner, I was determined to find creative ways to earn extra income from home. Whether it was sewing, crafting, quilting, or painting, I traded my time for money with one-on-one services to support my family.

In my mid-30s, a health crisis led me to explore natural holistic remedies and lifestyle changes, transforming my life in ways I never imagined.

As my children grew and left home, I transitioned to teaching high school, still trading time for money, but I knew there had to be more to life. With broadband internet replacing slow dial-up, I eagerly dove into health and wellness topics, and spent countless hours researching ways to earn extra income. Along the way, I tried a few strategies that didn’t work, but every failure taught me something important.

Now, in my 70’s, my mission is clear: to share everything I’ve learned to help other Christian women reclaim their health and discover new ways to serve God. I’m passionate about guiding them away from the overwhelm of endless research and analysis paralysis and showing them how to take action and uncover their true purpose.

Whether you’re seeking stability, taking bold action, building meaningful relationships, or looking for knowledge, this community is for you. We’re here to support you in discovering your purpose and transforming your health, no matter where you’re starting from.

Welcome to a journey of empowerment, growth, and faith.
