In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, host Christine Chappell interviews Megan Hill about her newest book, Sighing on Sunday: 40 Meditations for When Church Hurts. Some of the questions addressed in this interview are: • What are some reasons that church may feel like a sad or difficult place to be? • What are some of the unhelpful ways to respond to a person’s story of hurt in the church? • In what ways might our trust in God be shaken as a result of our church-related pain? • How do the Scriptures help us to interpret and process our church-related hurts? • What are some practical ways we can respond to the grief we feel in these particular situations? • How does looking to Christ’s relationship with his church offer us wisdom and hope in the midst of church hurt? • Where can we find biblical narratives of church hurt in the Scriptures, and what guidance do they have to offer us? • In what ways can the members of the local church support those who have experienced church hurt in the past?
