Maybe you've been hurt by the church, maybe you've been judged, overlooked, or made to
feel like you didn't measure up.
Maybe you once felt safe in your faith, but now everything feels confusing.
What used to feel simple is now tangled with questions, disappointment, or even anger.
If that's you, you're not alone.
Church is supposed to be a place of love, safety, and truth.
But churches are made of people, and people are flawed.
Sometimes they get it wrong, sometimes way wrong, and when they do, it can leave deep
and lasting wounds.
But please hear this, God is not church culture.
He is not legalism.
He is not the gossip, the shame, or the silence.
He is not the one who hurt you.
God is still who He says He is, and He is still good, even if His people have failed
you.
So if you need to step back, take a breath, and relearn how to trust again, that's okay.
Your faith is not dependent on a building, a pastor, or a perfect spiritual record.
It's personal.
It's real.
It's between you and God, and He can handle your questions.
It's okay to wrestle.
It's okay to not have the answers.
God is not scared of your doubt.
He isn't rolling His eyes at your pain.
He is still here, still loving you, still inviting you back, not to a system, but to Him.
You're allowed to take your time.
You're allowed to heal.
You're allowed to rebuild something new, something honest, and something yours.
Faith was never meant to be a performance.
It was meant to be a relationship.
And that's still on the table, whenever you're ready.
