Navigating Confidence and Healing from Church Hurt

In this episode of Confidence and Coffee, Ashley shares her experiences and offers guidance on finding confidence and hope, especially related to being hurt by the church. She discusses the commonality of feeling betrayed or let down by church members and emphasizes that while people can be the source of hurt, it's crucial to remember that Christianity and Jesus are about healing and love, not harm. Ashley candidly recounts her personal journey through church hurt, postpartum depression, and the struggle to separate the actions of people from the essence of God's character. She provides steps for healing from church hurt including defining it as abuse, separating it from God's character, recovering personal power, and reclaiming spiritual practices. Ashley encourages listeners to place Jesus at the center of their healing, reminding them that community and fellowship are integral to overcoming pain and finding freedom in Christ. Throughout, listeners are reminded of the importance of not equating the failings of humans within the church to the nature of God, and the power of personal healing through faith.
