4 NOV 2024 · In this powerful episode of the Unreligious Podcast, Drew shares his incredible testimony, taking us on a journey through his life in Christ.
Growing up in a Southern Baptist church with a preacher for a dad and a musical mom, Drew's early years were steeped in faith. But as he transitioned to adolescence, he faced the complexities of being a church kid, grappling with the expectations and realities of faith.
Drew opens up about his college years, where he walked away from the church and struggled with a growing split between his Christian beliefs and the life he was living. It’s a candid exploration of faith, doubt, and the challenge of staying true to one’s beliefs in a changing world.
Everything changed for Drew one fateful day when he woke up drunk for a family photo shoot, prompting him to reevaluate his life and faith. Join us as he shares the turning point that reignited his journey back to Christ and how becoming a content creator transformed his perspective.

TODAY’S TOPIC
- Catch up on what we covered last week (be sure to go back and listen listeners) “TESTIMONIES”
- Get into today’s topic: CHURCH HURT
WHAT IS CHURCH HURT?
- Church hurt refers to the emotional and spiritual pain that individuals experience due to negative interactions with fellow church members or leaders. This can manifest as betrayal, judgment, gossip, or unkindness—often from those we expect to support us in our spiritual journey.
Understanding The Difference Between, “Biblical Correction” and “Unbiblical Bias”:
- Drew seen a post today that perfectly sets this up:
- A critical distinction to make is between biblical correction and unbiblical bias.
- *Biblical Correction*: This is rooted in love and guided by scripture. Galatians 6:1 tells us, "Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently." This kind of correction aims to restore and uplift the individual, not to tear them down.
- *Unbiblical Bias*: In contrast, unbiblical bias often manifests as judgment, condemnation, or criticism that lacks grace and compassion. It can stem from personal biases, misunderstandings, or even cultural differences within a church community. This behavior can lead to feelings of inadequacy and hurt, leaving individuals feeling ostracized instead of embraced.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------
- I know of at least 2 affairs that have happened in churches I have attended. One as a kid, and one as an adult.
- Mathew 7:15 “ WATCH OUT FOR FALSE PROPHETS. THEY COME TO YOU IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE FEROCIOUS WOLVES”.
- MATHEW 24:11 ‘AND MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR AND DECEIVE MANY PEOPLE. Vs. 12 BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE OF WICKEDNESS, THE LOVE OF MOST WILL GROW COLD.”
- I have been to MEGA churches as well as small churches and at least 4 churches with different denominations.
- That UNCOMFORTABLE feeling when a church or pastor does something you're not sure is actually biblical.
- How many of us have left a church because we were hurt there or felt they weren't teaching biblical truth?
18 NOV 2024 · Scriptural Conflict Resolution
- Handling conflict scripturally is essential for maintaining healthy relationships within the church. Here’s a biblical approach to resolving conflicts:
- 1. *Address the Issue Privately*:
- Matthew 18:15 instructs us, "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you." This step emphasizes the importance of addressing conflicts directly and privately before escalating them to others.
- 2. *Seek Understanding*:
- Approach the situation with a heart of humility and a desire to understand the other person’s perspective. Proverbs 18:2 says, "Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions." Listening is key to resolving conflicts effectively.
- 3. *Involve Others Wisely*:
- If the conflict remains unresolved, Matthew 18:16 advises us to take one or two others along to help mediate the situation. This ensures that the matter is handled fairly and with accountability.
- 4. *Pursue Peace*:
- Romans 12:18 encourages us, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Strive for reconciliation and peace, even if it requires humility and sacrifice.
Scriptural Remedies for Church Hurt
- So, how can we find healing from church hurt?
- Here are some scriptural remedies to guide us:
- 1. *Forgiveness*:
- Ephesians 4:32 encourages us, "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Forgiveness is crucial for healing. It doesn’t mean we condone hurtful behavior, but it frees us from the burden of bitterness.
- 2. *Focus on Jesus*:
- Hebrews 12:2 reminds us, "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." When we focus on Christ and His teachings, we find strength and encouragement that transcend our experiences with others.
- 3. *Seek Community*:
- While we may have faced hurt, it’s vital to seek out healthy, supportive communities. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 encourages us, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.” Finding a group that embodies Christ-like love can provide healing and support.
- 4. *Consider Finding a New Church*:
- If your current church community is not aligning with your biblical viewpoint or is causing you more pain than growth, it may be time to consider finding a different church. Look for a community that embraces you and supports your faith journey. Remember, the church is meant to be a refuge and a place of growth, not a source of ongoing hurt.
- 5. *Prayer and Reflection*:
- Spend time in prayer, asking God to heal your heart and help you process your feelings. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He is our ultimate comforter.
