“Our discrimen—the critical turning point. The moment of truth. Will you be brave? Will you put yourself out there? What will you reveal your character to be? If cowardice is failure to do your duty, then courage is the decision to step up and do it. Answering the call. Overriding fear and seizing your destiny. Doing the thing you cannot do because it needs to be done . . . with fortitude and spirit, guts and grit, even if you have no idea if you’ll succeed. This will not be easy. But we cannot fear. We must, as Shakespeare said, “meet the time as it seeks us.” Our destiny is here. Let’s seize it.”

Every year, about 2.7 million church members drop from church membership. One of the main reasons is attributed to church members leaving as hurt and wounded victims after experiencing some form of abuse, disillusionment, or from feelings of abandonment and neglect.

It’s well past time we talk about it….

Disclaimer: The Hurt Church Podcast was created to provide a safe place for believers and non-believers to discuss the topic of “Church Hurt”. Church hurt is a term used to describe a wide range of experiences in which someone was let down, wounded, or trust was broken by someone within the church. With this conversation we hope to bring understanding and healing to those still struggling.

There is no affiliate church or organization associated with this Podcast at this time. As we grow we will always be open to partnering with People and Groups who share our mission.

Recent inquiries about my association with any Church, this podcast and its purpose are not tethered. We aim not to divide any group of believers. Only to foster healing and unity amongst all believers. Never will a name of individuals or otherwise be used during the shows recordings. This is to protect the privacy and integrity of all parties involved.

Thank you,
