Ep 138: Dealing With Church Hurt, Offense Journal, And Ramming The Gate with Larry Brey Bianca Juarez Olthoff


Listen Later

Have you ever experienced church hurt? Is there an offense that has been causing you bitterness? If this is your case, I want you to know that I’m so sorry for the hurt that you have experienced. 

My friend, Pastor Larry Brey, from Elevation Church, and I sat down to discuss the topic of church hurt and how to overcome it. Our goal is to parse out the realities of: 

  • Dealing with and overcoming Church hurt
  • Recognizing offenses and processing them early
  • Practicing gratitude and focusing on personal growth 
  • Church hurt is real. It could stem from a misunderstanding or something else. Please remember, the church didn’t hurt you, a person did. That’s why it is important to speak up and share your hurt. It is also equally important to listen and understand what others are saying and feeling. 

    Gratitude and offense journals are two practical ways to help you process this hurt. Tag me @BiancaOlthoff and @lbrey and let us know how this practice is making a difference in your life.

    Love you,

    B
