Community Hurt

Description

Betrayal inside the church hits differently. It shakes your faith, your friendships, and sometimes your sense of self. In this episode, Elisa, Eryn, and Vivian get honest about their own experiences with community hurt—the kind that's hard to talk about and even harder to heal from. Together, they turn to Jesus, who knew betrayal intimately, to ask: What does it actually look like to move forward? This is the conversation you didn't know you needed. Notes and Quotes: “Jesus had relationships knowing He was going to get hurt.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins “Do I love God because of what He gives me and these outcomes that I expect in my life? Do I love Him conditionally like a vending machine—I say the prayer, and out comes the blessing and it’s transactional? Or do I love Him unconditionally? Do I love Him, come what may?” —Vivian Mabuni "Do I love in that kind of way with others—is the type of love I display to others conditional or is it an unconditional love because of how God has loved me?” —Vivian Mabuni “God’s love extends to all.” —Elisa Morgan Verses: Luke 22:20-54 John 21:15-19 Related Episodes: GHH Ep 15 – Navigating Difficult Relationships with Patricia Raybon: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/navigating-difficult-relationships/ GHH Ep 17 – Finding Freedom from Toxic People with Gary Thomas: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-freedom-from-toxic-people/ GHH Ep 76 – Abuse in the Church with Dr. Amanda Benckhuysen: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/abuse-in-the-church/ Links: God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/sfmc-ghh Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM
