171. More than a 'Moral Failure': Calling Spiritual Abuse What it is & Finding the Real Jesus in the Aftermath | Natalie Runion

If you’ve experienced church hurt or spiritual abuse, it has probably caused you to question what you've believed about God and your relationship to Him. Natalie Runion speaks on the necessity of wandering after experiencing harm, and how disentangling our faith from human rules & constructs helps us discover who Jesus really is. Michelle and Natalie also discuss the damage done to survivors when churches refuse to describe abuse as pure wickedness and share how God helps us rebuild relationships in a community of faith by restoring our dignity and voice.
