Episode 4: The Difference Between Church Hurt and Discipleship | Protect the Altar Podcast


In this powerful episode, Tim Rice opens up about his personal journey through church hurt and abuse — and how God brought healing, restoration, and a deeper understanding of true discipleship.


So many believers wrestle with the tension between being corrected and being controlled, between accountability and abuse. This honest conversation helps bring clarity, healing, and biblical perspective to one of the most sensitive topics in church life today.


We also dive into our FAQ segment: Navigating Church Leadership & Vision, answering key questions like:

🔹 How do I align with my pastor’s vision without losing creativity?

🔹 What do I do when there’s tension with leadership?

🔹 How do I get a seat at the table for creative planning?


If you’ve ever been hurt by leadership or struggled to understand healthy discipleship, this episode will remind you that God can heal, restore, and still use you for His glory.
