Have You Been Hurt in Church?

“[My pastor said] ‘you need to ask forgiveness.‘ I said ’for what?’ because I thought he knew that I was frustrated with God and was anxious. And he said, ’cause Seth has this abnormality because of something you did.‘ And being taught that forgiveness is complete and it’s washed away…what could I have done? And I kept running through everything.”

This assertion — that she was responsible for her son’s Down Syndrome — caused her so much angst and pain that she decided to leave the church.
“I completely stopped going to church,” she explains. “The only way to get through that was to get out.”
Watch her share her story, below:
