There are many wounded and hurt people in the church AND Jesus loves the church.
Church should be a place of refuge, but what happens when it becomes a source of pain? In this heartfelt episode of the Strong Tower Mental Health podcast, host Heidi Mortenson sits down with Pamela Mertz to discuss the profound impact of church hurt. Pamela opens up about her harrowing experiences, including sexual abuse as a young girl and the insensitive remarks she received from church members following her son's death.
These events led her to question her faith and struggle with spiritual abuse. Yet, through it all, Pamela found a path to healing by forging a deeper connection with God. This episode isn't just about recounting trauma; it's about discovering strength in vulnerability and reclaiming faith. Heidi and Pamela explore practical ways to navigate tough conversations, establish healthy boundaries, and move beyond the hurt inflicted by those who were supposed to offer support.
If you've ever felt betrayed by your faith community or know someone who has, this episode offers a compassionate guide to understanding and overcoming church wounds. Tune in for an inspiring journey of resilience and hope.
