Another preacher, another fall, another wave of "church hurt" stories — and eventually one of them is going to hit close to home. In this message from 1 Corinthians 1–3, Pastor Jason Mayfield gives believers a practical, biblical toolkit to protect their faith before a leader disappoints, hurts, or fails them.
Pastor Jason walks through the Spectrum of Church Hurt (disappointment, hurt, and abuse — and why confusing them keeps people stuck), introduces the cybersecurity concept of an "attack surface" as a picture of how broadly or narrowly our faith is built, and lays out three tools every Christian needs: Get Clear on who Jesus is, Get Mature so cross-centered preaching is enough, and Get Yours — because once the revelation jumps from the teacher to you, it belongs to you.
He closes with direct, personal pastoral counsel for the disappointed ("get over it"), the hurt ("get through it"), and those who have suffered real abuse ("get help — you cannot do this alone").
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:11–13; 2:1–13; 3:5–15 (ESV)
