Church Hurt: Myths, Mistakes, and How We Handle the Struggle | S5 E23


Listen Later

What do you do when you're hurt in the place where you sought healing? 

In an environment where several high-profile ministries and pastors have been critiqued and exposed in the media for moral and ethical failures, how does a family dedicated to ministry respond? 

Is it possible to avoid the pain and disconnection that church hurt can cause? 

In this raw and honest conversation, we share our insights on managing expectations within the church, how to determine when church hurt is a valid emotion, and the importance of trusting in the valuable relationship with God found in a local church.

Sharing our personal stories, we discuss how we've grown from these experiences and how crucial grace and responsibility are for both pastors and churchgoers. 

We also explore how to discern between good and bad pastors, recognize their role and calling, and understand the intentions of people when joining a church.

Please share this powerful episode with a friend or family member who needs to know what to do with church hurt, directly from folks who know the church inside and out.
