004: Modern-Day Lepers: When Leaving the Church Means Losing Your Community
Listen now
Description
It happens all too often. You leave a church, and when you do the community you had and the spiritual family you had around you acts like you no longer exist. Sometimes they're antagonistic, and at other times they are just apathetic. This is one of the hardest (and most painful) parts of leaving a church because it feels like you lose so much in the process. In episode 004 of the Church Disrupted Podcast, Jacob and Sarai Miller share their story of leaving the Jehova's Witnesses and losing their community and family in the process. We also talk about high-control environments and what to do when you find it's time to leave. If you've ever felt the sting of losing a church family and feeling like a modern-day leper, then this episode will encourage you that better days are ahead. Our conversations are real and authentic, but we want to remind our sensitive audience members that some topics may be triggering.
