Church Hurt…. It’s a real thing my Personal experience with it.
Hello my name is Lashaun, I’m From Toledo OH, and here is my story of a struggle that is so real to me that I’ve experienced this past summer.
Ok so sometime back in July, I went through something very serious and life altering, I went to my pastor, in confidence to share what I had been through. I was completely open and honest about what had happened to me, so we talked on the phone and once I shared what had happened, he told me I was no longer allowed to come back to church for 30 days. Because it would hurt his church members, I cried to him saying I don’t understand, I thought you loved me as my pastor, ……… he never prayed for me on the phone he never said it’s going to be okay, just basically threw me away, after I had been a member there for 5 years.
What happened didn’t even take place in church or anything, that was the most hurt I’ve ever experienced in my life, I couldn’t believe he had done that to me and you call yourself a God fearing man.
I could of easily exposed him, I could of told all the church business of all the wrong doing there, but I didn’t God sent someone in my life, to give me strength, and tell me it was going to be ok.
As a leader you have to be careful and how you treat people, no matter what I’ve experienced , or anybody else you should never treat anybody like that and you call yourself a PASTOR.
So if anybody has ever been through church hurt I’m sorry that happened to you, .
So the story is I found a new church home and recently got baptized, God gave me grace and stepped right in.
