So Good Sisterhood

If you’ve been a Christian in Church long enough, you’ve experienced the sting of being hurt in Church. Well, today, we are going there! In this episode, we are going to talk about the messiness and the beauty of biblical community and how to manage your expectations.

So Good Moments: 

  • The difference between Church hurt and Spiritual abuse.
  • How the enemy robs the Church of a full and abundant life.
  • Why we need to expect more from believers but also manage our expectations. 
  • The importance of creating a space for people to feel safe, seen, and heard. 
  • Why we shouldn’t diminish, discount, or deny hurt.
  • The 3 stages of biblical community…and more!

Discussion Questions: 

  1. What did you learn about the difference between Church hurt and Spiritual abuse?
  2. Why do you think it’s important as believers to make people feel seen, heard, and loved?
  3. Have you ever caught yourself diminishing, discounting, or denying your hurt or someone else’s hurt? What could you do differently next time?
  4. Pastor Julie shared the three stages of community. Why do you think it’s important to embrace the tension stage? 
  5. What are some ways you can manage your expectations for biblical community?
