Learning to Trust Again After Church HurtWhat do you do when the place that was supposed to help you heal becomes the place where you were wounded?Church hurt is one of the most painful forms of relational grief because it often impacts not only our trust in people—but our perception of God. In this deeply personal episode, Ashley and Levi share from what they call "the messy middle" of their own healing journey while offering biblical hope for anyone struggling to separate the failures of people from the faithfulness of Christ.Together, they explore:• Why church hurt affects us so deeply • The difference between grieving the Church and abandoning Jesus • How betrayal trauma impacts trust and belonging • Why healing is rarely linear • What parents can do to keep their pain from becoming their children's inheritance • How pastors and church leaders can create safer spaces for wounded people • Why Hebrews 10 should never be used as a weapon against those who are hurting • How Jesus remains faithful even when people fail usThroughout this conversation, we discuss insights from Chris Jackson's Loving God When You Don't Love the Church, betrayal trauma research by Dr. Jennifer Freyd, and—most importantly—the hope found throughout Scripture.If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to love Jesus while struggling to love the church, we hope this conversation reminds you that your story does not end with church hurt.It ends with Christ.If today's conversation encouraged you, we'd love to walk alongside you.🌿 Learn more about coaching or schedule a free consultation at https://curatedcoalition.comIf this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing, sharing it with someone who may need it, and leaving a review.
