Might be a regional thing, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a new church built in my lifetime. The only churches I see closing down are the ones in small towns that don’t have the population to maintain it anymore.
I’m curious, do you see a trend in the denomination of these pop-up churches?
This was my experience with micro usb, and everyone seemed to agree they were total shit. As for USB-C, I’ve never even heard of someone having trouble with the actual cord. Generally the issue is that there is lint or something in the charge port. I don’t think I’ve ever thrown out a USB-C cord, to my memory.
In short, check for lint, and if that’s not the issue then yeah it really might be your phone. Mind if I ask what kind of phone you have?
