Intro
If you’re like me, you probably grew up in the church. And if you’re like me, you’ve also been deeply hurt by the church at some point in your life. Maybe it was a specific incident that occurred that made you feel unwelcome or unloved. Or maybe it was a more general feeling of being judged and misunderstood.
Whatever the case may be, I want to let you know that you are not alone. There are many of us who have been hurt by the church, and we need a place to process those feelings and heal from our wounds.
That’s why I’m starting a support group for church hurt people. This is a safe space for us to share our stories, vent our frustration, and ultimately find healing and hope.
