Episode 038 :: I Was Hurt by the Church

The Changing Faith Podcast with Michael Hidalgo

On this episode we talk about those who have been “Hurt by the Church” - those who have been wounded by organized religion or disillusioned by the word and actions of pastors and faith leaders. Unfortunately far too many of us know this painful experience firsthand. How do we move through it? What can it teach us? How do we forgive? How do we move toward health and not bitterness? Michael shares out of his own experience of being betrayed and wounded by those in the church, his decision to leave the church and eventually to return. The hope of this episode is we might take another step toward hope and healing for those who have been hurt by the Church.
