Have you heard about church hurt, or experienced it yourself? How are we to view the Christian faith in light of countless stories and experiences of pain and abuse within the walls of the Christian church? Continuing the exploration of reconciliation, Esther and Elizabeth unravel what scripture says about the relationship of the Christian to to both the local and global church. They share personal stories of pain and abuse in churches and how to process them through the lens of who God is. This is a no miss episode for those who have ever wondered what the point of church is, why the church is relevant to following Christ or for anyone with a history with "deconstruction." This episode will also equip you with facts and ideas to bring up to your friends and family who may wrestle with these questions.
