Ever experienced “Church Hurt?”

Have you ever been hurt by the church?

Ever felt like the people inside were faker than the people outside?

You’re not alone.

And that pain was never from God — it was His protection.

It’s time to heal for real.

It’s time to come back to the true heart of God — not religion.

Tap in to my new series!!

Church Hurt & Holy Healing — now live on Apple and Spotify! Search: Eyes on the Wall w/ B. Jana’i

Let’s heal together.

2025/4/26 Edited to

Many individuals have faced what is commonly referred to as "church hurt," where experiences within religious institutions lead to feelings of betrayal, disillusionment, and pain. It often stems from interactions with individuals who may not embody the principles they profess, resulting in a disconnect between faith and personal experience. The journey toward healing involves recognizing that these hurtful encounters are not a reflection of God's character but rather a distortion of human actions. Engaging with support communities, seeking guidance through faith-based resources, and exploring spiritual podcasts like 'Eyes on the Wall' can provide both solace and direction. These platforms encourage open discussions about the intricacies of faith, healing, and the importance of relationships within the church. As you embark on this healing journey, it’s essential to focus on restoring your connection to God rather than remaining tied to past hurtful experiences. Remember, healing takes time, and it's okay to seek help along the way.

How Christians should present themselves

I’ve seen plenty of posts about people who used to be Christian’s, but aren’t anymore. They firmly stand on the fact that they will never go back to Christianity, and that’s okay. However the only thing that bothers me is how we (us Christian’s) are responding to them. It’s the typical “ Jesus love
