Church hurt happens when someone experiences pain, rejection, or betrayal within a faith community—whether through gossip, judgment, abuse of authority, or feeling unseen and unloved by those who should reflect Christ’s heart. This kind of hurt can shake a person’s faith, cause deep emotional scars, and even make them walk away from God altogether. In this episode, we’ll unpack what church hurt is, why it happens, and how to navigate the road to healing—remembering that while people may fail us, God’s love never will.
