About this episode

The episode discusses how to respond to hurt from others without shutting them out, emphasizing God's call to maintain connections.

When people hurt us, our gut reaction is often to shut everyone out. After all, vulnerability means we can get hurt again. But God doesn't want you to close people off. Learn what he calls you to do instead. . . . . Rush Podcast is a production of Gather Ministries ( https://www.gatherministries.com/ ), a non-profit organization led by Jennifer & Justin Camp. Through our five ministries, we equip men and women to encounter God in the every-day lives they're living. From Loop for Women, an email devotional focused on beauty & prayer, to WiRE for Men, an email devotional that helps men see life with God as the greatest adventure of all time, we hope we have something that matters to you. . . . . .
