Summary

God’s design for the church is good. The church is meant to be a place of refuge and worship. It is meant to be a place where believers can meet together and worship God and live in community with one another. But, because of sin, the church doesn’t always live according to its good design. Church hurt is real, and it is painful. But thankfully, the grace of God is able to heal that hurt and allow us to move forward. In this two part series, we talk about what church hurt is, how to handle it, what God says about it, and how to move forward onto the path of healing. Maybe you have been hurt by your church as a whole, or maybe an individual in your church. Maybe you have been hurt by church leadership. Or maybe you are someone who has hurt someone else within your church. Regardless of the circumstance, this conversation is for you.

0:00.0	Welcome to Daily Grace. We believe that the Bible is true, trustworthy and timeless.
0:19.1	And we want to help women like you know and love God's Word. The Bible shows us who
0:25.8	God is and who He is changes everything. My name is Jensen and I want to invite you to come
0:33.5	join me as we chat about the truth of God's Word in our everyday lives. Many of us have experienced
0:42.0	hurt within the four walls of the church. Whether it was a wound that came from a friend or maybe it was
0:49.7	even one that came from a leader within the church. We often don't know what the next steps are to take
0:56.7	after we've experienced hurt. And it can begin to affect our relationship with the church, with other
1:03.4	believers, and even our relationship with God. If you have ever found yourself in one of these places,
1:10.2	then this two-part series on what to do when we've experienced church hurt is going to be gospel
1:18.0	hope and help for you in that place. Come join us as we talk about what to do after you've experienced

1:42.5	will resonate with a lot of people, but it's also a topic that is not often talked about and that is
1:49.6	church hurt. Now this is a vast topic that has countless different ways that we can approach it, but our
1:57.2	focus today is going to be on giving you some really practical and biblical steps to take if you
2:03.3	have experienced church hurt. We want to help you begin to heal from the hurt you've experienced, and we hope
2:10.3	that this episode can be a springboard into healing for you. But first, Jensen, can you share a favorite
2:18.1	thing from this week with us? Yes, okay, so my favorite thing this week is a book called Labor with Hope by
2:26.3	Gloria Ferman. I think I said this in the last episode, but just a reminder, I am pregnant, do an
2:31.4	August. Okay, there's going to be a yay every time I say it. And so I ordered this book when I first
2:37.4	found out that I was pregnant because I just love Gloria Ferman. I've loved all of the books that she has
2:41.9	written that I've read. And this is just like gospel meditations on pregnancy and childbirth and
