About

It seems like everyone knows someone who’s been wounded in some way by the church, whether it’s members or its leaders. As a former pastor, I’ve had an opportunity to see experience it from both sides.

I believe there is a significant need for an honest conversation, a community of people focused on recovery and restoration after being seriously hurt by the church. Anger and blame are easily directed at God, when in reality people are the ones that cause hurt. Hurt people constantly rehash the events that have caused their pain, focusing on the problem at hand when the solution is to fix their eyes on Jesus instead.
