About this episode
You've been hurt by the church. Maybe you walked away years ago, or maybe you're still trying to make it work in a place that tells you who you are is wrong. The wounds run deep. Spiritual abuse often comes wrapped in Scripture. Two-thirds of Christians report experiencing spiritual abuse. That means you're not alone in this pain, even when it feels isolating. Is it even possible to trust a religious community when the last one broke you? Mother Julie Hendrix, an Episcopal priest who understands both sides of this story, reveals what she wishes every LGBTQ+ person knew about healing.
