Season 3 Theme - One Virtual Road Trip, to Answer One Big Question, told as One Continuous Narrative Arc
Season 3 Focus - To answer one primary question, "How do we effectively live as a collective church body in today's world in tension?"
In this episode, we explore a first-hand account of church hurt. Aimee Byrd, author of "The Hope in our Scars", vulnerably recounts her personal experiences of being wrongfully mistreated by church leadership and the governing bodies of her denomination.
Aimee unknowingly stumbled into a tripwire of adversity as she sought to explore Biblical views of manhood and womanhood. The more she explored and wrote, the more she found herself in the crosshairs of controversy.
Aimee assures us that we can all retain hope in the church, even when its leaders neglect congregational wounds, refuse to admit their complicity, or avoid reconciliation. Come join us to hear Aimee's authentic and passionate plea to work through our disillusionment with the church and rediscover the beauty and mystery of our covenantal union with Christ.
