This week on the podcast Katy sits down with Pastor Tim Holley from The Journey West County in St. Louis to discuss the topic of church hurt. What do you do when you’ve been hurt by the church? Is there space for people who are actively deconstructing or grappling with theological questions in our church bodies? Is the church still relevant today and doesn’t have a purpose for believers? And where do women fit into the body of Christ and how can we prevent more women from leaving the church?

Katy also shares some insight on what it’s like at times to be a female working and serving in the local church.

The three books Tim references in this conversation will be linked below:

When the Church Was a Family by Joseph H. Hellerman

Relational Spirituality by Todd Hall

The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
