Ep. 131 : Church Hurt, Trauma and Grace with Amber Jones
Spiritual abuse and church wounds are far too prevalent. The question for many is how does one not leave their faith altogether or how do they avoid carrying such toxicity to others? With stories like the one told in the The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast, many wonder if they can ever trust again. Today’s conversation is about a story of spiritual abuse and the grace found when we choose to face our stories of trauma and heal. Terra Mattson interviews Amber Jones, founder of GraceStory Ministries, an organization helping people who’ve been wounded in the church and aren’t sure how to find help.
