When church hurts instead of helps
Church should be a place where you can find community, support, and room to grow.
But what happens when it becomes the place that wounds you?
Maybe a leader broke your trust. Maybe you were dismissed when you needed support. Maybe something happened that left you questioning the people you trusted—and even your faith.
Those experiences can stay with you long after you leave the building.
In the latest episode of the Patros Podcast, we have an honest conversation about church hurt: broken trust, unhealthy leadership, disappointment, and the lasting impact those experiences can have on our lives and our relationship with God.
At Man Up, we believe men need space to talk honestly about the things they carry—including pain they’ve experienced in church. You don’t have to pretend it didn’t happen or have all your questions answered to join this conversation.
