Live Like It's True {Bible Podcast}

What happens when the place meant to nurture our faith becomes a source of pain?
In this episode of the Live Like It's True Podcast, Megan Hill and I talk candidly about church hurt—where it comes from, the wounds judgment can leave behind, and the vital role of grace within the body of Christ. Together, we point to Jesus, who endured suffering without bitterness, and remember that healing is meant to happen in community. 
With practical wisdom and gospel hope, this conversation calls us to humility, extend mercy, and move toward restored relationships.
