Church should be a safe place, right? Then why do so many get hurt there?
Ray Beeson and Chris Hayward combine their years of ministry experience to address head-on the elephant in the room: church members and church leaders hurt Christians. All the time. And the long-lasting effects--rejection, shame, despair, loneliness, fear--can be devastating. The authors have witnessed the rise of the "dones," those who are just done with God thanks to scars from church. With first-person stories of hurt and loss, *Wounded in the Church* is a wake-up call for any who deny woundedness in the church but is also a redemptive message for any who hurt from church wounds.
The *Participant's Guide* contains eight sessions based on the contents of the book, and includes questions for discussion and personal reflection for each session, as well as key Scriptures, quotes to ponder, and a closing prayer. Ideal for group study or personal devotions.
Session 1: The Pain Session 2: Neglect and Rejection Session 3: Shame, Manipulation, and Loneliness Session 4: Forgiveness and Moving Past the Pain Session 5: Identity and the Role of the Law Session 6: The Religious Spirit and Perfectionism Session 7: Rejecting Cliches and Finding a Church Home Session 8: Hope Beyond the Pain
