If your current church is not ministering to you effectively I am all for you finding one that will. Please just don't lose sight of the fact that the Bible clearly states that God gave us pastors, teachers ,etc for a reason.
More than ever when you are stressed you need spiritual support and guidance and most of all love from a local assembly of believers.

It is not the worst advice ever. Depending on the situation it is the BEST (or worst), or somewhere in the middle, advice ever.
I know it kept
me alive.
Now the difference between Matt and me is that I was a teen who had no way to escape the hellish grasp of the Pod People. Matt is older and already on his own and fully capable of changing churches.
And by the way, it IS possible that one may never come back from that break........ But I haven't lost my faith.
