    Dale Hardy- Healing The Hurts That Church Gives You

    In this episode, we talk with Pastor Dale Hardy about his struggles with church hurt. Dale also dives into a history of pain from his family tree and all that they experienced.  Show Notes: Love everyone just as they are. Matthew 5:43, 44 Four principles: 43   a. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and b. hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, c. love your enemies and d. pray for those who persecute you, a.  Love your neighbors 43 a b.  Hate your enemies 43 b  Myths c.  Love your enemies 44 a    Realities d.  Pray for those who persecute you 44 b Self-Forgiveness - John 8:32, 36 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 Now, the slave does not remain in the house forever; the Son does remain forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free. 5 Simple Steps 1.  Give the hurt,  pain, etc. to God – Cast all your cares on Him. 1 Peter 5:7 2.  Do more in your ministry for Christ – ignore the nasties unless they have a point. 3.  Find an accountability partner – ask them to ask the hard questions:                                                                                                 a.  Have you done anything to hurt anyone this week?                       b.  Have you been anywhere you shouldn’t have been this week?    c.  Have you been in the Word and prayer this week?                    d.  If so, how much?                                                                                   e.  Did you lie about any of these? 4.  Volunteer in ministry that uses your Spiritual Gifts. 5.  In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. [Proverbs 3:6]  Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.  [Psalm 37:4] (kardia, psyche)
