Jess Connolly: Is there Hope after Church Hurt?

Hosted By

Kristin Mockler Young

Show Notes

Jess Connolly opens up about the spiritual abuse she’s faced and how she’s been able to stay connected to the church. This is not a conversation of platitudes or empty promises but one with real talk of eating disorders and depression, the dark side of being a female in ministry and why so many women chose to run in their calling outside of the church.

If you’re looking for hope, this “carefrontation” is for you. We hope it’s as healing as it may be hard. And if you need help recovering from spiritual abuse, please consider BetterHelp.com or a local therapist in your area.
