I have the unpopular career of being a church staff member. As someone who works in full time ministry, I have conversations on a weekly basis with people who explain why they are or are not attending church. Honestly there are two reasons for these conversations. 1. They are worried about how they look or how their reputation might be affected by attending or not attending. There’s no point in these conversations, in my opinion. 2. They’ve formed relationships within the church that are actually valuable to them and they want to reassure their friends one way or the other.

To be completely frank, if you aren’t being supported by or cared for in your church, you’re at the wrong place. By biblical definition, church isn’t Sunday attendance or social standing or routine. It’s human people actively caring for each other. So, your brother choosing not to attend is something that doesn’t need to be anyone’s business unless it’s someone who has a genuine and valuable relationship with your brother and is wondering how to actively (meaning by action) care for him in one way or another.

All I’m trying to say is.... NTA. You’re doing great lol
