Reconnecting with the Church, Overcoming Hurt, & Rediscovering the Joy of Fellowship

Welcome back to Grove Hill Church, where we explore the experiences and challenges faced by believers in their journey with the church. In today's episode, Pastor Ridley Barron and Dan Sanchez delve into the topic of "Come back to the church," addressing the impact of church hurt and the reasons behind individuals stepping away from their church community. Together, they consider the importance of fellowship, accountability, and the potential consequences of not addressing church hurt. They also discuss the necessity of finding a church that aligns with individual values, the impact of social media within Christian communities, and the importance of seeking support and making amends. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of church relationships and explore the significance of reconnecting with the church community.
