About this episode
Pastor Bryan discusses the deep pain of church hurt and the importance of pursuing community in response.
It's one thing to be on the receiving end of gossip or criticism by a coworker or acquaintance, but to be hurt by someone close to us? That's an entirely different kind of pain. And this is precisely why church hurt can cut so deep, because it comes from a completely unexpected place. In this week's message from Psalm 55, Pastor Bryan explores what a godly response to this kind of hurt looks like. It can be tempting to isolate ourselves, but these are the very moments when we need to resist drawing away and instead pursue community with fellow believers.
