This is a Holy Week replay of one of our most important episodes from the Church Disrupted podcast (Originally Released Easter 2024 as episode 29.)In a season where churches celebrate resurrection and redemption, we pause to ask:What happens when people walk away from church—not because of unbelief, but because of abuse?And why do we still believe so strongly in the Church after the hurt and abuse we have seen?In this episode, the crew explores the tension between church hurt, spiritual abuse, and the hope of Holy Week. We talk about:The pushback we’ve received for speaking up.What’s really at stake when the church avoids hard conversations.Stories of pain, loss, and healing.Why calling out sin is not division—it’s discipleship.And how we can still love the Church while demanding accountability.Whether you're in a place of deconstruction, recovery, or rebuilding your faith, this conversation is for you.🕊 Originally aired Easter season 2024 — replayed now by request.👂 Listen.
