from The Cross Culture Podcast · host The Cross Culture Podcast
Church hurt is a conversation that has become increasingly common, but often only from one perspective.In this episode of the Cross Culture Podcast, we explore the reality of church hurt from both sides of the pulpit. We discuss how pastors and ministry leaders can also experience betrayal, disappointment, criticism, and hurt while serving the people they love.We also talk about the sacred trust that comes with ministry. When people confide in pastors and leaders during vulnerable moments, that trust should never become a weapon. We unpack the responsibility of stewarding people's stories, struggles, and secrets with wisdom, integrity, and care.Beyond the hurt, we reflect on the beauty and importance of the Church to us as believers. This is a thoughtful, honest conversation filled with perspective, conviction, and our usual banter along the way.Episode SponsorTo join the waitlist for Breed - your spiritual companion app to help you stay consistent in your walk with God, use this link: https://www.joinbreed.com/👉 Don’t forget to click the follow button and the bell icon, so you never miss new episodes!💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments — we’d love to hear from you!Follow Cross Culture Podcast on social media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecrossculturepod/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecrossculturepodLinktree: https://linktr.ee/thecrossculturepodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@cross-culturepodApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ng/podcast/the-cross-culture-podcast/id1843749167Got questions or feedback?
