43: Church Hurt, Band-Aids for Bullet Wounds

In this episode, Jared and Michael unpack the quiet reality that many struggling with porn and sexual addiction don’t just battle shame—they often carry church hurt. When the church ignores the issue, responds with harsh judgment, admits the problem but offers no real ministry support, or overspiritualizes addiction while dismissing the psychological and neurological realities involved, those seeking help can feel unseen and unsafe. Instead of encountering grace and wise discipleship, they sometimes meet silence or simplistic answers. This conversation calls the church to be both biblically faithful and practically equipped—holding truth and compassion together—so that those fighting hidden battles can find not condemnation, but courageous community, informed care, and real hope for transformation.If you have questions or are interested in taking the Fight Club: Live in Freedom course, email [email protected] more at www.fightclubministry.com and to purchase the book, Fight Club: Live in Freedom, visit: https://a.co/d/063ZNweTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fightclubministryInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fightclub.ministry/Twitter: https://x.com/fightclubminTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fightclubministryYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fightclubministryLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fightclubministry/
