Is church hurt real, or has the term been misunderstood?

In this episode of The Miseducation of God’s People, Jason (JC) Johnson Sr. sits down with Meosha Bean, director of the powerful audio documentary series Church Hurt, to discuss one of the most difficult conversations facing the Christian church today.

Many people have experienced deep emotional, spiritual, or even physical abuse within churches, yet some Christians argue that “church hurt” is simply an excuse to abandon the faith. In this candid conversation, Meosha shares her own heartbreaking experience of sexual abuse by a church leader and explains why exposing abuse is not an attack on the Church—it is an act of protecting Christ’s people.
