"I Love Jesus, But Hate The Church": Let's Talk About Church Hurt (Part 1)
About this episode
The episode discusses the pain of church hurt and the complexities of maintaining faith in Jesus amidst negative experiences with church communities.
What happens when the place that was supposed to bring you closer to God becomes the place that hurt you? In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about church hurt, toxic church culture, spiritual community and what it looks like to still love Jesus after being wounded by His people. We unpack the difference between genuine harm and uncomfortable conviction, why Christian community still matters, the ways women can be failed by church systems, the danger of confusing culture with scripture, and why churches must be willing to listen when people say they’ve been hurt. Whether you’ve left a church, struggled to trust church leadership again, or are trying to rebuild your faith and find healthy community, this conversation is for you. 💌 Join the TMS Mailing List: https://www.tomysisters.com 📧 E-mail us your dilemmas and episode suggestions: dilemmas@tomysisters.com 💌 JOIN US ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
