Church Hurt | The Other 6 Days | Episode 16

Since the beginning of time, God has used broken people to bring about His plan of redemption & restoration to ALL people through one primary means... His church. Wether accurate, assumed or wrongly accused, "church hurt" has impacted a large number of western evangelical churchgoers and as a church, we should be able to engage in open and honest dialogue on the topic. In todays episode, we will discuss what it is, what it isn't and some ways we can all do a better job coming alongside those who’ve been wounded & discovering solutions toward help, hope & healing for those who have experienced church hurt. SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES:Wounded by God's People: Discovering How God’s Love Heals Our Hearts - Anne Graham Lotz (https://a.co/d/2YjZ6tC)When Narcissism Comes to Church: Healing Your Community From Emotional and Spiritual Abuse - Chuck DeGroat (https://a.co/d/cDKWdbx)A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing - Scott McKnight (https://a.co/d/b9cq4iP)Raised to Stay - Natalie Runion (https://a.co/d/1vh0gtK)Additional information:In the spirit of Matthew 18, reach out to us so we can begin a conversation!Email us at theother6days@southwestchurchCall (760) 200-2000 and ask for Pastor of the Day.Contact the Authorities for young individuals with concernsContact Human Resources for staff with concernsContact Leadership & Elders for concerns regarding staffRefer to Matthew 18:25 for issues with other individualsSeek Counseling for those who need to process negative feelings and emotions.For more information or to join the conversation, head over to https://southwestchurch.com/theother6days or email us at [email protected] US!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theother6dayspodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@theother6daysYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@theother6days
