322: Church Hurt: Rage, Grace, & Everything in Between

322: Church Hurt: Rage, Grace, & Everything in Between

For many, the church has been a place of deep wounding rather than healing. Whether you've personally experienced pain or watched destructive behavior unfold, it can feel impossible to stay connected to faith when the place meant to embody love feels anything but safe.

In this episode, Justin and Abi explore the complexity of church wounds—why they happen, how they impact our sense of self-worth, and what it takes to move forward. They discuss the tension between forgiveness and accountability, the importance of boundaries, and the challenge of not mirroring the same judgment and hurt we've experienced.

If you've ever struggled with disillusionment, frustration, or grief over the church, this conversation offers a space to process, reflect, and consider a path toward healing—on your own terms.
