What About Church Hurt And Hypocrisy?

A common reason people have deconstructed their faith is because of church hurt. This is an umbrella term used to describe a wide range of experiences in which someone was let down and wounded, or trust was broken within the church. This message by Lead Pastor Aaron Brockett discusses this very real hurt, where we can reduce who God is to the worst actions of his people.
