🎙️ Episode 41: I Love Jesus… But I Don’t Like Church People

When Loving Your Neighbor Gets Complicated

You love Jesus. You believe in His Word. You want to follow Him.

But sometimes… church people make it hard.

Maybe you’ve been judged, gossiped about, excluded, embarrassed, or hurt by the very people who were supposed to show you the love of Christ. Maybe you’ve even caught yourself thinking:

“I love Jesus… I just don’t like church people.”

We get it. But Jesus never told us to love only the people who are easy to love.

In Episode 41 of Girls Can Pray Too, Kara and Misty have an honest conversation about church hurt, difficult Christians, forgiveness, boundaries, hypocrisy, and what it actually means to love your neighbor when your neighbor gets on your last nerve.

📖 “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” — John 13:35 KJV

In this episode, we’re talking about:

✨ Why church hurt can cut so deeply

✨ The difference between loving someone and trusting them

✨ Why healthy boundaries aren’t the same as bitterness

✨ What to do when Christians don’t act very Christlike

✨ Examining our own hearts before pointing at someone else

✨ How Jesus calls us to love without pretending the hurt didn’t happen

✨ Why imperfect church people still need grace — including us

Heart Check: What if the church person somebody is struggling to love… is me?

You don’t have to pretend people haven’t hurt you. You don’t have to call unhealthy behavior acceptable. But you also don’t have to let someone else’s behavior build a wall between you and Jesus.

Church people will disappoint you.

Jesus won’t.

Come pray, talk, and grow with us as we ask God to teach us how to love people the way Christ loves us — even when loving our neighbor gets complicated.
