When Church Hurts

When Church Hurts What happens when the place meant to help us heal is a source of deeper wounding? Join us this week as we explore the topic of Post Traumatic Church Syndrome with our special guest, Radonda Rowton, MAC, PLPC. Radonda was raised in ministry (27 pastors on just one side of the family!). For twenty years, she and her husband have served in music ministry. After getting her master’s in counseling, she decided to use her personal, clinical and ministerial experience to help those who have been harmed within the church. Listen along as we explore what PTCS is, how it happens and how we can heal from it. Whether you are part of a church, have stepped away from the church, or have a desire to see church ‘done well’, you won’t want to miss this episode. You Can Read This!
