Have you ever been hurt by someone in church — maybe a pastor, a friend, or a group that didn’t show up when you needed them most? In this episode, Brenda approaches the topic of church hurt with compassion, truth, and encouragement, reminding us that God’s plan for community was never meant to wound us, but to heal us.
Using the beautiful imagery of geese flying in formation, Brenda illustrates how interdependence — taking turns leading, supporting one another, and staying close when someone is wounded — reflects God’s perfect design for fellowship. She connects these truths with both Scripture and neuroscience, showing that we are literally wired for connection.
You’ll discover why community is vital for spiritual and emotional health, how to take small, prayerful steps toward reentering fellowship after hurt, and how to use the Catch–Shift–Thank–Release technique (from Episode 16) to quiet overthinking and renew your trust in God’s people.
