Ouch... When the Church Hurts

We are discussing church hurt this week. Hear me out... many of us have been hurt by the church. Maybe you felt the sting if you had a baby in your adolescent years, or maybe you started to embrace who you fully were and came out as gay or trans... maybe you wore red fingernail polish and the church mothers whispered behind your back. Or maybe your church has failed to address the value of Black lives and have preached sermons to smile when a victimizer harms you and others that look like you... all of this and other stories have led to many folks in the community being hurt by the church. 

This week, I am talking to my friend, Lamar J. Pringle, former pastor about being hurt by the church. He shares his insight and wisdom, the acknowledgment of church hurt, growing up in the church, what he is up to now and his journey to healing.
