Reverend Dr. DeShaun Williams takes an honest and heartfelt look at the painful reality of church hurt—the emotional and spiritual wounds caused by negative experiences within religious communities. He explores how hypocrisy, leadership abuse, judgment, and lack of accountability push people away from the church, leaving them with deep scars.
DeShaun speaks from his own heart as he reflects on the lasting impact of church hurt, including spiritual trauma, isolation, and emotional struggles. But this episode is more than just a discussion of pain; it also offers a message of hope. DeShaun shares how churches can rebuild trust and how individuals can begin to heal after experiencing hurt in a place meant to provide refuge and love.
If you’ve been affected by church hurt or are simply seeking to understand, this solo episode offers insight, reflection, and a path forward.
