Katies Story

After 11 years deeply involved in a multisite megachurch, this guest shares her journey from experiencing church as a place of belonging, purpose, and spiritual growth to navigating the pain of church damage. As she stepped into greater leadership, she began noticing a disconnect between what was discussed behind closed doors and what was practiced publicly, leading to confusion and a loss of trust. After prayer and discernment, she made the difficult decision to leave, only to experience the additional loss of her community and her mother shortly afterward. Through counseling, vulnerability, and discovering she was not alone, she began healing and finding purpose in sharing her story. This episode explores the impact of church hurt, the importance of honest conversations, and the hope that can come through healing and restoration.
