There’s no hurt like a church hurt
Trying to figure out the best way to say what I want to say has been difficult. I would describe my church experience as evangelical, Anglican, maybe a bit charismatic. I believe some, not all are gifted with speaking in tongues. Season one was an interesting start. I have no personal experience with the Pentecostal church(es), but have seen how they have wrecked friends. I think Tara Jean did an excellent job tackling her own pain and curiosity about her past experience. I greatly dislike that her experience caused her pain and to turn completely away from the saving grace offered by a personal relationship with Jesus. There’s no hurt like a church hurt. Season two was another good season, but season three became something else. Cultural appropriation? Why can we no longer be inspired by or incorporate parts of another culture? Overall I think this is a good listen, especially if you have had a similar experience or are wanting to understand how the people in a church can twist the Gospel. Let it serve as a warning to read and seek the truth in the Bible.

Tara speaks respectfully of those who still believe while bringing light and...Read full review »
