In this episode, the guys discuss what it really means to love the local church—not through rose-colored glasses, but through the lens of biblical realism. From Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas show us that the church’s beauty lies not in her perfection but in her perseverance.

Together, we explore how being realistic about the church actually deepens our love for her. Paul and his traveling companions strengthened disciples, reminded them that suffering is part of the journey, and appointed elders to help the church grow under God’s direction. That’s realism—and it’s what keeps us rooted in grace and unity today.

In this season finale of Four Preachers and a Podcast, the guys come together for a heartfelt and hope-filled conversation about church hurt. What happens when the people of God wound one another? How can we process that pain in a healthy, Christ-centered way?

We dive deep into the gospel’s answer to broken relationships, disappointment, and betrayal within the body of Christ. With Scripture as our guide and personal experience as our context, we seek to offer practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement for anyone who’s been hurt by the church—or by Christians.

🎉 This wraps up our Season 5 miniseries! Four Preachers and a Podcast will return with Season 6 in August 2025.

Until then, stay faithful, stay encouraged, and keep looking to Jesus.

When someone is wounded by the church—whether through conflict, disappointment, or betrayal—it can be a long road to healing. As fellow Christians, how can we walk alongside those who are hurting? What should support look like? And how can we avoid unintentionally making things worse?

This is part four of our miniseries on Church Hurt, a candid conversation exploring the real pain that can happen within the church family, and how God’s people can seek healing together.

In this heartfelt episode, the four preachers delve into the sensitive topic of interpersonal hurt within the church community. Building upon the previous discussions in their “Church Hurt” miniseries, they explore how conflicts among church members can arise, the impact of such hurt, and the path toward healing and reconciliation.

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, the four preachers tackle a difficult but necessary topic: the intersection of church leadership and church hurt. While the church is a place of healing and hope, many have experienced hurt—even at the hands of leaders. In this episode, we explore how church leaders (elders, deacons, preachers, and various ministry leaders) may – either intentionally or unintentionally – contribute toward church hurt, then we transition to discuss how church leaders can minister to those in our churches who are hurting.

This is part 2 in our miniseries on church hurt.
