In this episode, Audrey addresses a listener’s concern about her husband’s faith. The listener shares how she sometimes feels lonely when her husband isn’t spending time with her, but she finds joy and contentment in listening to podcasts and sermons at night while she cleans. She expresses her commitment to continue praying, loving, honoring, and respecting him.

The listener also questions whether it’s wrong to be content with her current life situation, wondering if this reflects a lack of trust in God’s ability to work in her husband’s life. She holds onto hope for her husband but acknowledges the reality that there are no guarantees in life. She seeks guidance on her attitude, feeling more at peace when she lets go and allows God to work in their lives.

Church hurt is real but it goes both ways. It is real for people in the pew and it is real for people in leadership.  We are all sinners and we all hurt each other. The issue is that we walk in forgiveness. Even if we are in the very best church out there – we're still sinners and we're still going to get hurt and we are going to hurt others.  It all comes back down to our own personal walk with the Lord.

There is so much more that I could discuss about this issue. But as always, I hope you are encouraged.
