Tuesday Pause: Are We Okay With Losing Souls?

In today’s Tuesday Pause, I’m sharing a conversation that has been weighing heavily on my heart. As believers, we often celebrate the souls being won for Christ, and rightfully so. But are we paying enough attention to the souls we are losing?Some people leave one church building for another, while others quietly walk away from the faith altogether. Church hurt, disappointment, rejection, unmet expectations, and unhealthy church cultures have left many people wounded and questioning whether they belong.In this episode, I reflect on my own experiences with church hurt, the importance of remembering that the Church is more than a building, and the responsibility we have to care for those who are struggling, questioning, or drifting away. This is not a message of condemnation. It is an invitation to examine our hearts, our churches, and our willingness to love people beyond attendance, titles, and traditions.If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, hurt by the church, or wrestled with where you fit within the body of Christ, this conversation is for you.Question for Reflection:While we celebrate the souls being added to the Kingdom, are we equally concerned about the souls quietly slipping away?Disclaimer:The views shared in this episode are based on my personal experiences, observations, and biblical reflections.
