Yes, I have a right to exercise spiritual authority, but I must not cross that line into spiritual abuse.

How far can God's man go and when is he trespassing?

Dear young married couple, over the last few years, we have worked with many difficult situations,

some of which include wounds surrounding your church or their pastor.

Church hurt is a term thrown around fairly loosely, but in this episode, we dive into the

idea of church hurt from a pastor's perspective. And look, guys, we're taking on a gigantic

discussion with a lot of gray area. So please know that every situation is particular and we won't be able to

know the nuances of your specific situation. Yeah. And also, we don't get into the legal aspects

of abuse in this episode. So we want to give a disclaimer here that if there is indeed sexual

or physical abuse happening in the church, it absolutely needs to be

reported. In this episode, we interview Pastor Daniel McKillop, and we dig into biblical

concepts of spiritual authority. The Bible is clear that we all need a pastor and a community

of believers around us, but as you know, the church is composed of fallen individuals that need Jesus.

Right, because everybody makes mistakes. But how do we respond to leadership failure appropriately?

And on the flip side, how can a pastor help the saint that has been hurt find healing?

A highlight of this episode is a fresh perspective on the

Touch Not Mine Anointed passage in Psalm 105. So be on the lookout for that. It's a comforting discussion.

Yes. Daniel McKillop pastors a thriving church in Canada and is also the host of the Kingdom Speak podcast, which is, by the way,

excellent. And he tackles difficult subjects like this one head on. And we're just really

grateful for his anointed care in the conversation today. So on to the interview.

Brother Daniel McKillop. It's so, such an honor to have you on the program.

We're excited about this conversation today.
