The Church is part of God's incredible plan to bring hope & healing to the world. But, the Church is also made up of people and we have a tendency to be messy and broken. 

In this episode, we continue our discussion about when church hurts focusing more on what to do after we've been hurt and how to walk through conflict in a Godly way. We also talk about what it's like to find a new faith community and the process of grief & forgiveness that can come with that. 

Guests: Radonda Rowton, Chris Rowton, Josh Earls, and Fawn Ellerbrook
