Something’s Not Right—Church Hurt, Abuse & Trauma

Rob, Vinnie, and Danny Hall continue discussing the issue of unhealthy church systems and leaders. In the first chunk, they address the pursuit of seeing the church as a kingdom family (and the importance of community that’s needed to become self-aware in our pursuit of health). 

In the second part of the show, they discuss the spectrum of church hurt, abuse, and trauma, and how the terms are often (wrongly) used interchangeably when they shouldn't.  

This is part of a multi-episode conversation where we talk about cultivating a healthy church environment and how to understand church hurt and church abuse.
