Have you ever been hurt by the church? You're not alone. A discussion on Church Hurt has been highly requested recently - so I am starting at the beginning with a replay of a Season 3 interview with Pastor Tim Woodcock

In this honest episode, we talk about spiritual abuse, religious manipulation, and what happens when the church doesn’t reflect the heart of Jesus. We unpack the pain of church hurt, the impact it has on our identity and faith, and how to begin healing without walking away from God. 

If you’ve ever wrestled with authority in the church, questioned your place in the body, or felt abandoned by spiritual leaders, this conversation will remind you that your pain is valid — and it’s not the gospel. Jesus is still safe.
