But for many, it has become a confusing, rigid, and even harmful space. And no hurt stings—or stays—quite like church hurt. Because when we try to untangle ourselves from the unhealthy aspects of a particular church, so many other areas of our lives can feel the impact, and even the fabric of our faith can unravel. As a trauma-trained counselor who loves Jesus and the Scriptures, Terra Mattson believes healing within the church is possible. In this insightful and grace-filled book, she helps you learn how to y name unhealthy patterns, y reclaim grace over shame, identity over loss, and for- giveness over bitterness, and y distinguish between healthy, simply human, and deeply toxic. The vision for the church expressed in Scripture is one of unity, love, and mutual support. To the writers of the New Tes- tament, even churches that were unhealthy were worth correct- ing and saving. If you need to heal and you don’t want to lose your faith in the process, this book is for you.
