"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"

Why do people in recovery say so often that their recovery community feels more like church than their ACTUAL church? Is this an observation pastors ought to listen to?

Zac Hicks thinks so. Zac is the pastor of Church of the Cross, a young church plant in Birmingham AL. He understands how people's difficult and traumatic experiences (that often took place in their churches) impact how they show up... even how they hear the preached Word.

It's a somewhat rare blessing to talk with a truly trauma-informed pastor, and this conversation was like that. 

Episode 70 | Zac Hicks: Why Does Recovery Feel More Like Church Than Church Does? will be available Tuesday, July 7th!
