Round Table: How Do We Approach "Church Hurt"?

We are back with another discussion with The Whole Church Round Table! We have gathered leaders from all kinds of different traditions and denominations in the Church to discuss the problems the Church is facing today, together!

Today we address questions like, What is a Church hurt? Does the Church cultivate a culture of abuse or of love? How do you heal when you've been hurt by the church? How do you know when you should leave a church? What is religious trauma? What does the Bible say about Church hurt? What is spiritual abuse? How do you address spiritual abuse? Why are women often both the victim and the one to blame for sexual abuse in the Church? Is it the responsibility of women to be more modest, or is the responsibility of men to act more decent?

We talk through examples like why so many Megachurches end with stories of spiritual abuse or Church hurt. What have we learned from the Hillsong Megachurch exposed? What did the southern baptist church sexual abuse report teach us? What is the southern baptist convention and are they alone in dealing with sexual abuse in the Church? Why has sexual abuse become so prevalent in our churches? What have we learned from the story of Mark Driscoll, american author and pastor of Mars Hill Church? What can examples of hurt from Mars Hill Church like those of Jesse Bryan, William Wallace, Mike Gunn teach us? How do we discuss examples like the Ravi Zacharias sexual assaults that have come to light? We even discuss First Baptist Church - Church in Hammond, Indianna, and ask where is Pastor Jack Schaap now that Pastor Jack has been released?

On today's round table discussion, we have Joshua Noel (a charismatic Lutheran), TJ Blackwell (Pentecostal), Rev Steve Lanclos (Anglican), Christian Ashley (Baptist), Joe Dea (Home Church), Brandon Knight (Nondenominational), and Father Jonathan Resmini (Orthodox).
