I remember when the Lord told me I had bitterness toward God because I all the issue of sickness in my body and I had healing I'm still going through healing from a lot of things.i had alot of healing from church hurt too. Forgiveness and living in Grace and receiving God's love was hard and to trust is getting better but he's still working on me
This whole interview is gold 🥇 thank you ladies for making this happen. My story is a bit intense and I didn't grow up in church. But when I met the Lord. Everything changed. And it's been a " rollercoaster 🎢" BUT as a women, a believer in Christ, a writer and a song birdie. I feel I'm breaking into what the Lord has for me. So grateful for this interview. He's too good! 🙌🌊✝️👑👑💟 Be well 🕊️🕊️
The greatest damage done to me was from the churchs.... but I use that to get stronger in the word and to get to know the Lord greater because I don't listen to what religious people say , rather I listen to the word of God that makes us an overcomer!... I learn to be a forgiver!!
Rita this episode was amazing, I really liked both of you stressing the importance of Joseph being able to take a blow from God because he had seen God's hand in other ways like originally being so close to his father. You both spoke clear and passionately. Dave from Canada
I wasn't going to watch this video and thought perhaps there was something that might be better for me to spend my time watching. Then I saw the name "Manasseh" in the text and wondered what's that doing there. Shortly after, the story of Joseph was mentioned and I began to listen as I love that story and your discussion around it was fascinating, so much so, that I watched the entire interview. Thank you.
My experience was being thrown under the bus by church leaders during my divorce. Moved to another church where the pastor wife bullied me. Church counselors have bullied me into try to take all the blame. Learning to set boundaries, separate God from the hurt, and leave toxic people have brought healing slowly.
I would need to hear your ex’s side of the story. I have learned that divorced people (in churches) are extremely deceptive. Not saying you are but I never form an opinion without hearing both sides. And not your side of your ex’s side.
So, I’m beyond thrilled that your podcast is not only back BUT I’ve even got 2 different places to tune in! (Although at first I was a little confused) 😂 Always deeply inspired and challenged by every podcast you put out and just really grateful for your voice and input on so many topics! As a singer/songwriter/musician, obviously, I can relate to so much of what you share in relation to music. When I lived in Nashville before my body crashed with Lyme disease, I was very aware that my guitar was my weapon! That worship was ALWAYS the way to drive out the enemy, and how imperative secret intimate time with the Lord is as we’ve been given such a gift to minister to Him because He alone is worthy of all our worship and full complete surrender. And every time I’m in the heavy weighty Presence of Holy Spirit, as I soak in His Presence and His love, I’m always fully aware of exactly who I am and WHO I get my identity from. Spirit of Adoption. The Father’s heart for all of us. It’s amazing how being in such a deep place of worship rereminds me all over exactly who I am, WHOSE I am, and exactly why I’m here inserted into history right now for such a time as this! Thanks for always cheering us on, Rita, and for encouraging all of us to come up higher, because there’s always MORE. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Being so patient through the turn around,yeah even in our bad choices or over sharing& Blindness 😂 yet after many years the Lord protects us all both Joseph and his brothers how beautiful &powerful The kindness of Jesus IS.Love these teachable moments..❤
My ex husband stole another mans wife in our Church, the church still had interaction with them,I eventually left the church,but today GOD turned it all around ,I'm happy I'm free,they broke up after 10yrs,the lady went on to steal her cousins husband,what a mess,but I'm the winner in all this mess, cause I witnessed GOD'S faithfulness to me and GOD was on my side every step of the way.What man meant for evil 🙌 GOD turned for my good.no regrets ,yess a humiliating and painful time in my life,but I clung to JESUS with everything in me.I won in the end.
Thank you so much for this interview! Though I’ve never had “church” hurt, that I can remember, I can gleam from everything that was talked about here today. I feel like, in life, I’ve isolated myself from people, never really wanting to get close, never really letting people in, because of a fear of getting hurt and maybe not being able to come back from something like that. When I see myself getting close to anyone, and then see the feeling isn’t mutual, (I’m talking about friendships), I am the first to back away slowly and cut it off. Then I find myself where I don’t want to be, alone, with no one to talk things out with. I’ll be listening to this again because I feel my answer is somewhere in this conversation. Thank you so much for this posting. I really do appreciate the honesty in this broadcast. May you always have divine connections Sis. Love you! ❤
I left church last year. I have no desire right now to attend anywhere. I saw my marriage fall apart, and the church told me to find a homeless shelter. This ended my attendance in church until I can process this unbelievable travesty! Btw I live in a halfway house for addicts. I am technically an addict, so at least I'm in the right place. But I can't go back until I heal. Btw I hate the thought of remarriage. One failure was all I can handle. So I guess I will live out my life here...
As a young wolf with a history of emotional and physical trauma, the church vacillated between “easy” answers and blaming me- the child victim- for nit being more circumspect and wise. My pain made church people uncomfortable ❤️🩹🌈⛅️
How have you experienced church hurt in your own life and what tools have you used to process it?
Thank you for this episode! Incredibly helpful for so many.

24:35 “I command my soul to get in line w who I know the Lord is” 😮

I'm grateful for this conversation. It helped me process things in my life
The timing of God is His kindness. I'm gone. That one phrase took me out. Thanks for the conversation
Your show always makes me cry😢
So powerful!
Such a great interview & wise words of our wonderful lord.
Such a great chat. So many gems. Thank you both.
ALL of THIS! Thank you both!

Ooh I can relate been through the same the thing

Such an insightful conversation.. consistency and safety has been key for me... I'm trying to be that for my child.. consistent.

I loved it! I really really did.
So very good!!!
Talk about climbing the mountain, the view is awesome. Being a garbage truck driver in the church is that a thing?

When ppl are put in places of leadership solely on talent = 🚩
