"Church Hurt" & The Misrepresentation of...

With Paige Hanna
About this episode

Welcome to another episode of Heavenly Ever After. “Jesus had church hurt too.” Today’s episode is a touchy subject for a lot of people and is one of the leading causes of people leaving or walking away from Christianity. We are talking all about “church hurt” and how the world misrepresents Jesus. We know that human beings are flawed and filled with sin. Often times we see people associate the actions of humans as the whole being of “church” and it can lead them to walk away entirely. “Christianity didn’t work for me” is a common response but this response is a direct correlation with the lack of personal relationship with God. I talk about how you can actually build a relationship with God and how to steer away from religion. I am sorry for your “church hurt”. I pray this word encourages you and helps change your mind about Jesus and who He actually is and not how He was falsely represented. (P.S. It was almost 4 years ago that that incident happened at the church late at night, the math wasn’t mathing in the moment)

Be Angry, Sin Not
Christianity has an amazing approach to lying and to anger that almost nobody else has. For truth-telling, it says truth must always be told with love. And for anger, it says, “Be ye angry, and sin not.” Paul doesn’t say, “Well if you get angry, it might be okay.” He says, “Be an ... Show More
