In this episode, I share my raw and honest testimony about experiencing church hurt—and how I chose not to walk away from God, even when His people failed me. If you’ve ever been wounded by leadership, judged in a place meant to be safe, or questioned your faith because of toxic church experiences, this is for you.
You’ll hear how I navigated the pain, processed betrayal, and found healing without abandoning my faith. I also share practical, biblical advice on how to protect your heart, set boundaries, and stay close to Jesus when people misrepresent Him.
Whether you’re still hurting, in the process of healing, or supporting someone who is—this episode offers truth, encouragement, and hope.
