Ep.13 - Church Hurt?
Pastor Tim Abina, Pastor Jim Perkins
“Church hurt” is one of the most common reasons people walk away—but what does it really mean?
In this episode of Shut Up and Drive, we take an honest look at pain inside the church. We talk about why hurt happens, who actually causes it, and how the phrase “church hurt” can sometimes be used to avoid accountability or justify distance from community.
This isn’t about dismissing real pain—it’s about responding to it biblically. Jesus doesn’t call us to run, gossip, or isolate. He calls us to forgive, confront with grace, and pursue reconciliation.
Because the church isn’t perfect—it’s made up of broken people being transformed by Jesus. And growth doesn’t happen when we walk away… it happens when we lean in.
