Still Here: How to Hold Faith When You’ve Been Hurt by Church

Leaving a church building doesn’t mean you’ve left God. But sometimes the hurt makes you question both. If you’ve been hurt by people who claimed His name, know this: Jesus is not them. He flipped tables when religion got in the way of relationship. You’re not wrong to feel wounded. But healing is possible. This post is a call to keep your heart open to safe people, healthy spaces, and a God who never changes. You can set boundaries and still pursue faith. You can grieve what happened and still grow spiritually. Church hurt is real, but so is the healing Jesus offers. Don’t let pain push you away from the One who can restore you.
