Hot Takes, Faith & Culture, and the Reality of Church Hurt WK 10 EP 11

What happens when the church gets called out? In this surprise bonus episode of Unfiltered Faith: Beyond the Church Walls, Evelyn, Krystal, and Amy get raw and unfiltered as they tackle some of the most controversial “hot takes” about Christianity and the church.

From “Church is too long” to “You don’t need church to be a Christian” to “Pastors shouldn’t get paid”—we’re not just giving quick soundbites. We’re digging deep into Scripture, culture, and lived experience to uncover the truth behind the tension.

But that’s only the start. We also step into the messy clash between faith and culture—how Christians should respond when truth is under attack, when society is upside down, and when standing for Christ gets you labeled and canceled. Grace and truth, boldness and compassion—it’s not easy, but it’s the call.

And then, the conversation gets real personal: church hurt. Maybe you’ve been betrayed, overlooked, manipulated, or even spiritually abused by leaders or fellow believers. Maybe that’s why you walked away. In this episode, we name it, we grieve it, and we offer hope for healing. Because while people may wound, Jesus never fails.

This episode is honest, challenging, and healing all at once. If you’ve ever struggled with church, culture, or your own hurt—you’ll want to lean in.
