In this interview with former ministry worker, Lauralynn Maurais, we discuss lessons the church taught us such as self-sacrificing love and how we see this being put into practice in our lives.
However, the church community itself is filled with problematic ideologies and behaviour. Lauralynn discusses why she and her husband chose to leave the church and the community they thought they would have for ever.
We also get into problematic, short-term christian mission trips. How great intentions aren’t really benevolent - Dismantling the whiteness, patriarchal ignorance of the church.
Is today’s church really following what Jesus taught? When is it okay to leave the church?
You are connected to Divine, with or without church. You don't have to search for something outside of yourself. You are enough and the answers you seek are all within you.
