I don’t think I know anyone who has been a believer for any length of time who hasn’t experienced a wound in their church life and experience. Some of these wounds are what I would call merely flesh wounds, but some are incredibly deep and can cause lasting damage.
I’ve heard from countless moms who have experienced this, including friends, and my own family.
It's easy to become bitter and cynical when it seems like we are the only army that wounds its own soldiers. However, I don’t think that is the whole story because that is not the God we serve and I can’t imagine that He would want us to stop at the point of our pain. But how do we heal? How do we trust again?
Today Wes joins me again, this time to talk about healing from church hurt.

As many of you know, we live on acreage with several of our kids and 6 of our grandkids ages 9 down to 2 mos. My daughter-in-law suggested that I revisit the baby, toddler, and preschool years. So this episode is both for new parents with littles and more experienced parents with littles who might want an encouraging refresher/reminder.
