The Mended Heart
Life is messy. Healing is hard. The Mended Heart is a space for honest conversations about how Jesus meets us in the middle of it all — the broken pieces, the hard questions, and the messy in-betweens. We’re not here to give you perfect Christian answers. We’re here to walk through the real stuff: pain, hope, and how God weaves beauty into every season of your story. If you’re looking for a place where it’s okay to not be okay, and you’re ready to hear the raw, unfiltered truth about faith and healing, welcome to The Mended Heart.

09 | “Church Hurt” (OUCH!) | Pastor Cole Abel
In this episode, I sit down with our friend and fellow pastor, Cole Abel, to talk honestly about the reality of church hurt. Together, we unpack what it means, why it happens, and how to navigate it without letting pain or disappointment keep you from experiencing the goodness of God. This conversation is filled with encouragement, perspective, and hope for anyone who’s ever wrestled with hurt in the church—and a reminder that healing and connection are possible.
