What do you do when the people who taught you about Jesus let you down?

In a generation that has watched spiritual leaders fall publicly and painfully, trust doesn’t come easily. Maybe you’ve asked, Is everyone in the church a hypocrite? Or maybe you’re carrying quiet church hurt and wondering if it’s even worth going back.

In this episode, we talk honestly about it and turn to Scripture to see what God actually says about flawed leaders, accountability, forgiveness, wisdom, and healing.

The Bible reminds us: The church has always been filled with imperfect people (Romans 3:23; Acts 6; Galatians 2). Leaders are held accountable (James 3:1; Ezekiel 34). Forgiveness is hard but healing (Colossians 3:13). Wisdom matters—sometimes you stay, sometimes you leave (James 1). And ultimately, our trust belongs in God, not in human leaders (Psalm 118:8).

If you’ve ever struggled to trust the church again, this conversation is for you.

“Do I actually need church to follow Jesus… or can I just do faith on my own?”

It’s one of the most honest, and most common, questions Gen Z is asking right now.

Maybe you’ve been hurt by church. Maybe it feels irrelevant. Maybe online sermons feel easier. Or maybe you just wonder, Is showing up even necessary?

If you love Jesus but feel unsure about the church, you’re not alone.

In this episode, my cohost and I open the Bible and look at what Jesus actually says about His plan for the church, and why faith was never meant to be lived alone. We talk about the purpose of Christian community, what the church is supposed to look like (and what it’s not), and how to take a next step toward healing and finding a healthy church home.

If you’ve ever wrestled with church, felt disappointed, or wondered where you belong, this conversation is for you.

Let’s figure it out together.

You’ve probably heard the phrase spiritual warfare before, but what does it really mean, and how does it actually show up in your life?

Because it’s not usually dramatic or obvious. More often, it looks like the quiet battles you fight every day—your thoughts, your temptations, your doubts, your identity, and the mental pressure you can’t always explain.

In this episode, we break it down in a simple, practical way. We talk about what the Bible really says about spiritual warfare, how the enemy attacks, and how to stand firm using prayer, truth, and God’s Word.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or spiritually worn down, this conversation will help you understand what’s happening and show you how to fight from victory, not fear.
