  • Thanking God!

    Thanking God for this podcast. It’s been a bomb to my soul many times. Just listened to the episode with Zach regarding the fear of man and was convicted and yet deeply encouraged.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hope + Help for Male Friendships with Alasdair Groves
Q: How can a man discern whether a friendship helps him grow toward Christ or reinforces destructive patterns?
Seek external input from trusted, mature people to identify red flags, listen to your conscience, pray for discernment, and consider honest conversations with the friend about changing the dynamic; if the friendship consistently pulls you away from Christ, you may need to adjust or end it.
Hope + Help for Engaging Church Hurt with Tim St. John
Q: What is the role of lament and suffering in the healing process?
Suffering should be addressed with lament and truth-telling, not just correction, and counselors should help people bring their pain to God, recognizing that healing involves acknowledging pain and entering the Lord's presence rather than rushing to fix the problem.
Hope + Help for Engaging Church Hurt with Tim St. John
Q: What should helpers listen for beyond presenting anxiety or depression?
Helpers should listen for how suffering manifests over time, and seek to frame the experience biblically, guiding counselees to see how God views what happened and to name the sins they endured as part of a broader healing process.
Hope + Help for Engaging Church Hurt with Tim St. John
Q: How do you define Church Hurt in a counseling context?
Church Hurt is defined as unrepentant sin that is minimized, normalized, or promoted by a church's culture or leadership, which goes beyond mere conflict and harms the vulnerable over time.
Hope + Help for Engaging Church Hurt with Tim St. John
Q: Why did you want to write this book on church hurt?
Tim explains that he witnessed many cases of burnout and minimized sins in churches, and wanted a resource for counselors that would equip them to walk people through church hurt toward Christ, with a focus on wisdom, boundaries, and gospel-centered care.
