When the Church Hurts: Finding Healing After Spiritual Wounds

In this episode Michael Crenshaw hosts Reverends Bobby Gibson and Glenn Burrell to explore church hurt — emotional, spiritual, and relational wounds that occur inside the body of Christ. They discuss common causes (leadership failure, spiritual abuse, gossip), the damage it can do, and why people often carry that hurt into new churches.

The conversation focuses on practical paths to healing: approaching conflict biblically (Matthew 18), seeking counseling and peer support, embracing forgiveness, strengthening identity in Christ, and improving pastoral leadership and accountability. The episode closes in prayer and announces future conversations and testimonies aimed at bringing restoration and hope.
