In this episode of Faith Rehab, we sit down with Steve McNitt to hear his personal story of church hurt—what happened, how it impacted him, and what helped him move forward.

Steve shares the painful experience of being pushed out of a church he loved, navigating betrayal, leadership conflict, and the emotional weight of losing something that once meant everything to him. At the same time, his family faced an even deeper challenge—his son’s battle with leukemia—which reshaped his perspective on faith, pain, and what truly matters.

Through it all, Steve opens up about anger, grief, and healing—and why he never let people’s actions redefine who God is.

Faith Rehab is a podcast about church hurt, healing, and rebuilding faith.

We create a safe space for honest conversations about spiritual disappointment, doubt, and the process of finding hope again—without pretending or having all the answers.
