3 Signs It Is Church Hurt Not Your Faith and What to Do
The wounds that cut the deepest often come from the places we expect to feel safest. When church hurt becomes part of your story, how do you navigate that pain without walking away from your faith?
In this honest conversation, licensed professional counselor Eleanor (Elly) Brown, based in Central Texas, and co-host Isa dive into the topic of church hurt and religious trauma with vulnerability and grace. Together, they unpack 3 clear signs you may be experiencing church hurt:
- Avoiding church because it feels more painful than safe
- Experiencing Scripture as a source of pain instead of comfort
- Wrestling with shame rooted in human judgment rather than God’s truth
Rather than dismissing the church or excusing harmful behavior, Elly and Isa share faith-centered tools for healing while honoring the church’s essential role in spiritual growth. They draw on biblical examples, practical counseling insights, and their own experiences of both giving and receiving hurt in church spaces.
💡 Want to go deeper? Elly’s book A Better Way: Integrating Faith and Psychology to Heal Inner Wounds offers a step-by-step framework for healing. You can also take her free Shame Quiz to discover how shame may be impacting your spiritual life.
Whether you’ve walked away from church, are supporting someone who has, or want to help create healthier faith communities, this episode provides a compassionate roadmap for finding a better way to heal.
