Hi here is a photo of me smiling at a plant to tell you that if you SWIPE UP on my story you will see a blog on my website where I talk about my experience with church hurt, & how I believe good still grows from it.
“When there is no recognition of trauma or space to process mistakes and hurt in the world on its own, that in itself is difficult to recover from. But when this happens within the proclaimed safety net of gospel-oriented individuals, I believe it’s exaggerated. And when it goes ignored, we deter from the process of healing that we are so supposed to example, that God originally ordained.”
I’ve been very hesitant to share my experiences with church hurt, because I’m not a trauma-expert. I’m not a therapist. I was and am just a hurting human who is striving to believe that God is still good. The purpose of this blog is to hopefully help you feel less alone. To call for honesty within this experience within the church. Keep showing up. Good things can still grow 🤍
