If You’ve Been Hurt by the Church, Listen to This | Jessica Clark | Ep. 6

If you've ever experienced hurt in the church, whether that may be from a spiritual leader or mentor, I want to let you know that you are not alone. In this episode, I talk about how I've been betrayed by spiritual leaders and have experienced religious trauma for many years. Although it's been hard to forgive those who hurt me, I've been able to relearn God for who He is and from Him only. I want to remind you that your feelings are valid and that you can forgive those who hurt you with God's strength. Take your pain to the Lord and allow Him to guard your heart against bitterness and soften your heart so that you may be able to allow God to show you His unfailing love. Experiencing religious trauma or hurt from spiritual leaders is more common now than before. I pray you may find some peace in knowing that you are the center of God's love and justice!
