If you’re feeling hurt or let down by church, I just read something I think you’d connect with: To Watch the Light Grow – Hurting & Healing with the Church by Katelyn Jane. She’s honest about how scary it is to let yourself be seen in a church community after you’ve been wounded, and how hard it can be to trust again.
Katelyn shares her own story—how she kept her guard up for years after being betrayed, and how, little by little, she found healing and hope in the most unexpected ways. She doesn’t sugarcoat the pain or the doubts, but she also talks about the surprising goodness that can show up, and how the light of Jesus can start to grow again, even after all the mess.
If you’re wondering if things can ever get better or if you’ll ever feel safe in church again, I think her words will encourage you. You’re definitely not alone in what you’re feeling. Give it a read when you have a minute—I hope it brings you hope.
God bless, Malcolm
