This season we are starting off with a couple of my childhood friends from church. This episode allowed them to get some things off their chest and helped them to move forward in their walk with Christ. Church hurt is a real thing. There are a lot of people who are hurting from something that has happened to them in the church. It is important for us to have tough conversations, forgive & heal that hurt so we can move forward with our lives. People will hurt you but God's love will always remain the same! That is why it is important to develop a personal relationship with God and know his word! He wants the best for you no matter what! All we have to do is surrender to his will & his way 💜🙏🏾
