Julie Roys | Fractured Faith: Finding God After Church Culture Harms You @JulieRoysReport | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
What do you do when Christianity hasn’t lived up to your expectations? And the church, which is supposed to be a place of healing, instead has left deep and permanent wounds?
In this edition of The Roys Report, Lina Abujamra, Bible teacher and author of Fractured Faith, shares a very personal account of how her faith was nearly deconstructed.
On staff at a multi-site megachurch in the Chicago area, Lina was in the inside circle and friends with the well-known pastor and his wife. People were getting saved. Her Bible teaching ministry was taking off.
Then, she saw corruption at the top. Rather than look away and stay, Lina left. Slowly, over the next few months, the pain set in. And her faith began to falter.
Where is God in the middle of our pain? How can Christians act in such cruel and callous ways? And what do you do when your story turns out the opposite of what you wanted or expected?
As many today consider what it means to deconstruct faith, together Lina Abujamra and Julie explore these important questions.
