When the people and places meant to bring healing become the source of pain, where do you go from there?

In this 2023 Courageous Conversations panel, pastors, psychologists, and theologians — including Dr. Christina Edmondson, Dr. Jessica Brown, Pastor Reginald Sharpe, and John Onwuchekwa — to unpack what church hurt really is, how to distinguish disappointment from spiritual abuse, and practical steps toward healing, wholeness, and compassion.

They discuss:
🔹 The difference between “church hurt” and “spiritual abuse”
🔹 How power, intent, and neglect play a role in wounding
🔹 Whether taking time away from church can be healing
🔹 Why love and humility must remain at the center of leadership

If you’ve ever been hurt by people in the church — or struggled to trust again — watch, reflect, and begin your journey from hurt to healing.
