Shame in the Church Because of Relational Hurt

Lifted to Hope

Have you ever felt the sting of betrayal within your Christian community? Has a trusted leader let you down? You're not alone. The pain from such a deep wound can lead us to guard our hearts and avoid those who have hurt us. I know this because I’ve been there. The closeness of the relationship and the trust I placed in it made the betrayal all the more painful.

In this week's episode, we explore the deep hurts that can arise within our church communities and Christian ministries. Often inflicted by those we value most, these wounds can leave us feeling disillusioned and isolated. Whether caused by the immaturity of leaders, unmet expectations, or outright sin, these experiences are real and impactful.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The profound depth of our need for belonging
• How a guarded heart often masks underlying shame
• The impact of misapplying scripture in creating feelings of shame
• The importance of acknowledging and naming our relational hurts within the church
• The necessity of committing to difficult conversations
