Ep. 5 - You're Not Crazy: 4 Steps to Heal Church Hurt

You've felt it. Someone in the church said or did something that hurt you — and instead of being seen, you got a Bible verse and a "I'll pray for you."In this episode, CJ, Steve, and Heidi walk through Dr. Allison Cook's 4 steps to healing from church hurt (Click here for the article)— and get real about what those steps actually look like in their own lives. They talk about spiritual bypassing, prayer request gossip, the weird power dynamics that happen when church people "speak for God," and why sometimes the most healing thing you can do is step away.Plus: CJ opens up about his walk through addiction and recovery. Steve shares a hospital room story you won't forget. And someone left a casket behind in a tornado warning. You'll have to hear it. Faith Rehab is a podcast about church hurt, healing, and rebuilding faith.We create a safe space for honest conversations about spiritual disappointment, doubt, and the process of finding hope again—without pretending or having all the answers.Co-hosts: Steve McNitt, Heidi Brandt & CJ Mateo Produced by: CJ MateoContact us at [email protected] — we’d love to hear your story.
